The best time of year to visit Nice in France

Nice has a Mediterranean climate with mild, somewhat wetter winters and a pleasant summer full of sunshine. The best time to visit Nice is the period from mid-April to the end of September. Especially in spring, when in the northern part of Europe the number of sunny days are still quite scarce, the sun often shines in abundance in the south of France. Really pleasant temperatures of 20°C and higher are already regularly reached in April, but from mid-May this is the case almost every day.

From June to mid-September it is summer in Nice, think of afternoon temperatures of 25°C to 30°C. September is often pleasant, but can have unstable days, especially in the second half of the month. October is the transition month to the cooler season. The chance of good beach weather decreases considerably in October compared to the late summer month of September.

During the months of May, June and September you are most likely to experience good weather with pleasant average temperatures that fall between 20°C and 26°C.
