Climate

The climate on the French Riviera is notoriously known to be absolutely fantastic, with lots of sun and a high average temperature, it’s a place with a mild climate all year around but here’s the weather and climate more specifically.

Monaco is situated on a strip of land between the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Alps to the north, the Alps protect the coast from the cold north winds and the snow, so the winters are mild and dry. This makes Monaco an ideal winter resort. Visitors can stroll in the sunshine on the coast and are still only a couple of hours drive from the snow and the ski resorts. Summer temperatures on the coast are rarely higher than 35°C (95°F); not unbearably hot, while winter temperatures don’t go below freezing point; usually around 10°C (50°F) in the shadow and 20°C (68°F) in the sun. In fact, you can expect close to 300 days of sunshine in Monaco per year!
