Current Temperatures Across Italy, Spain and Other Countries
During the first week of August 2025, many popular holiday destinations in southern Europe are expected to experience hot and sunny weather, with high temperatures often reaching the high 20s to 40°C in some areas.
In Spain, coastal areas like Costa del Sol usually have warm and dry weather, with highs around the upper 20s to low 30s °C. Mediterranean destinations can be hot but pleasant for beach holidays. However, no significant heat is expected on the mainland of Spain in the coming days.
France is another popular destination, and southern France, including the Riviera, sees hot weather, often reaching around 30°C or higher. Paris and northern parts can also be very hot, with temperatures recently hitting 40°C during heatwaves and some heat alerts issued. Rain is expected in some parts of France, especially in the east.
Italy, with its southern regions and islands such as Sicily and Sardinia, enjoy warm to hot days, generally in the high 20s to low 30s °C range, making it ideal for beach vacations. However, in Sardinia, the highest temperatures in the north of the island will decrease to 32 degrees.
Greece, including mainland and islands like Crete, Rhodes, and Zakynthos, can reach temperatures over 40°C during heatwaves. It’s typically hot and sunny with very little rain.
Cyprus, like other Mediterranean islands, is hot and dry in August, with average highs around 30–35°C, providing excellent beach weather. However, large forest fires are currently raging in Cyprus, with two people already dead.
Turkey is another hotspot for tourists, with coastal regions popular with tourists usually having hot, sunny weather with temperatures in the high 20s to low 30s °C. However, the popular tourist region of Izmir on the Aegean is experiencing the driest summer in years, and heat, drought, and wind are fueling the spread of fires currently raging in various parts of Turkey. The heat in Antalya, Turkey, could climb above 45 degrees this weekend.
In summary, you can expect hot, sunny, and mostly dry weather across these popular European holiday destinations during the first week of August 2025, with some areas especially in France and Greece potentially experiencing extreme heat episodes. Travelers should prepare for high temperatures and consider heat precautions if visiting during this period.
Travelers should also be aware of local weather reports, as in Athens, Greece, temperatures can exceed 40 degrees, and tourists should inform themselves about local weather reports. The proximity to the sea provides cooling both day and night on the Greek islands. The temperature on Mallorca, a popular German holiday island, is currently around 30 degrees. Naples in southern Italy has temperatures around 36 degrees.
In northern Italy, changeable weather is expected, with repeated showers and thunderstorms in Lombardy, Tuscany, along the Alps and the Apennines, and occasionally around Florence and Rome.
The Sardinian sea on the west coast is expected to be rough due to the ongoing drought. The risk of dehydration and heatstroke is too great for both tourists and employees in Athens. The forest fire risk remains high, especially on Sicily. Heat warnings are in place for almost the entire Turkey, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees in many places.
