Nice Weather

The Côte d'Azur region is a sun worshipper's paradise, with warm temperatures at all times of the year.

Summer

Nice summers are long and hot, with summer daytime temperatures regularly hitting 40°C, while average temperatures are about 25°C. Temperatures remain high from June to September, which is also the busiest time, particularly so in July and August. This is also the time of year when there is the least amount of rainfall and despite the hot daytime temperatures, welcome Mediterranean breezes keep summer evenings cool.

Winter

Winters (November to February) are mild in Nice, with average temperatures about 10°C, yet sometimes peaking in the 20°Cs. Even at night, temperatures very rarely dip below 5°C. Many people from northern Europe head for Nice during the winter, as the city receives a good number of daily sunshine hours at this time, unlike some other European cities.
