In summer, they can rise to 40°C on the coast, but they are bearable thanks to a light sea breeze in the west and a stronger wind in the east. The Central Plateau is slightly cooler at this time of year and generally does not exceed 30°C.
In winter, the sun rises around 6:30 am and sets around 6 pm. There are large temperature differences between day and night. During the day, the temperature fluctuates between 22°C and 27°C with sunshine sometimes obscured by scattered clouds. But as soon as the sun goes down, temperatures drop rapidly to 15°C on the coast and 9°C on the central plateau.
