What to expectSan-Pédro through the year

San-Pédro changes little through the year. Average daily highs stay between 26 and 30 °C, so no month stands out as a season in the way it would further from the equator.

Counted across a normal year, 360 days a year reach 25 °C, 45 of them reach 30 °C. The warmest reading in the 1991–2020 record is 34 °C, in February.

Rain is strongly seasonal. June averages 275 mm against 51 mm in January — 5.4 times as much. Planning around the dry months matters more here than planning around temperature.

The sea off San-Pédro is warmest in May at 28 °C and coldest in August at 24 °C. Sea temperature lags the air by a month or two, which is why late summer swims warmer than early summer at the same air temperature.
