In the main tourist areas (south side, where the beaches are located), the temperature is moderated by the cool sea-breezes from the Atlantic Ocean.
The average annual minimum temperature is 20 °C (68 °F), the average annual maximum temperature is 26 °C (79 °F), and the average annual temperature is 23 °C (73 °F). The average yearly precipitation is 1,086 mm.[10] The minimum temperature recorded was 4.8 °C (41 °F) in July 1928; temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F) are very rare in the city. The absolute maximum reached 43.2 degrees Celsius (110°F) in January 1984.[11] The temperature varies according to elevation, distance from the coast, and type of vegetation. Winter brings mild temperatures and less rain than the summer.
