Weather Overview for Saint Tropez

The glamour, class and fame of St Tropez is accompanied by a glorious typical Mediterranean climate of warm summers and mild winters. The scorching hot summer days are broken up by the evening sea breezes which waft over the city and provide a cooling breaking from heat and create an ideal atmosphere to enjoy what this alluring picturesque town has to offer.

If you are not bothered by hordes of tourists then Summer is an ideal time to visit St Tropez. Temperatures can reach highs of 36 degrees but generally sit in the low 30’s. July and August, along with being peak season, see St Tropez at its hottest and are the ideal months for soaking up the sand and surf of the south of France.

The temperature stays relatively warm through into November when they begin to cool down for the start of the winter months.

October and November experience the greatest rainfall, however this too is still fairly mild.

WINTER

The official St Tropez tourism board has promoted winter as ‘St Tropez, out of season, the magic goes on.’ If you prefer a quieter ambience and less tourists then Winter is certainly a magical time to visit the region. Temperatures stay mild, rainfall is minimal and it is argued that the countryside and French provincial markets are at their best in the wintertime.

Like many French towns that are overrun with tourists throughout the summer months, the benefit of visiting in the off season is that you will find your self gaining a much more ‘authentic’ experience. The local people are not overworked by tourism demands, and the whole city will have a much more genuine feel about it. Visiting in the winter means you will see a real provincial village minus the excesses of tourism.

January to may sees temperatures sitting at about 12 degrees, with January and February experiencing the coolest weather, experiencing average minimums of 4 and 5 degrees respectively before moving into March where the mercury rises slightly and the average maximum sits at 15 degrees, the minimum at 7 degrees.
