Climate Chart of Marseille, France

Climate overview

Temperature

The coolest monthly mean is 8.4 °C in January, while the warmest is 24.6 °C in July. These are averages for the months, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they describe the broad temperature pattern rather than the range a visitor might experience within a day. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of the monthly means is 15.9 °C. It provides a compact overview, but is not a day-weighted annual average and does not indicate how frequently particular temperatures occur.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in November, at 3.26 mm/day, and lowest in July, at 0.39 mm/day. The figures are daily averages for those months, not monthly rainfall totals; the lower mean does not guarantee dry days or show how often rain falls. The unweighted mean across the monthly daily-rainfall means is 1.64 mm/day. It summarizes the set of monthly averages, but cannot reveal the timing or frequency of individual wet days.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest monthly value in July at 13.42 hours/day, and its lowest in December at 6.42 hours/day. These durations can help set expectations for average sunshine when planning outdoor time, but sunshine hours are not a measure of day length. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine means is 9.80 hours/day per day. This is a broad summary rather than a promise of the sunshine available on any particular date.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall reaches its highest monthly value in February, at 0.69 mm/day; the unweighted mean across monthly means is 0.08 mm/day. These small averages record snowfall, but do not establish how many snowy days occur, snow depth, snow cover, or skiing conditions.
