Although the sun did not always shine and it rained occasionally, it had a special charm. The temperature was mild, perfect for local wine tastings and nature walks.
Sunny but not too hot and light rain. In the evening it can cool down a bit, so wearing a sweater is recommended.
During the day it was sunny and pleasant, but at night it cooled off a bit. There were a few rainy days, but that was to be expected.
Beautiful sunny days were often followed by cloudy and cool days. The weather did not keep me from being active, but nice weather was no guarantee.
High temperatures around 30 degrees, but watch out for sudden showers. Could use more sunshine, but still great for outdoor activities.
