St. George's, France experiences a classic temperate maritime climate with distinct seasons but relatively mild conditions year-round. The weather data shows remarkably consistent rainfall throughout the year (around 0.1 inches monthly), which is actually quite low and suggests this might be a sheltered or inland location. Temperatures range from cool winters with highs around 7-9°C to pleasant summers peaking at 23°C in August – nothing extreme in either direction. The humidity holds steady at 70% across all months, which is noticeable but not oppressive. The climate follows a predictable European pattern: winters are cool but rarely harsh, spring brings gradual warming from March through May, summers are comfortably warm rather than hot, and autumn sees a gentle decline back toward cooler temperatures. What's interesting here is the low rainfall – you're not dealing with a particularly wet climate, though that 70% humidity suggests it might feel damper than the numbers indicate. This makes St. George's fairly accommodating for visitors most of the year, though you'll obviously want to pack differently for January versus July.

Best Time to Visit

Beach & Relaxation
July and August offer the warmest temperatures (22-23°C) and longest days, though the water might still feel brisk for some swimmers. June is also pleasant if you prefer slightly fewer crowds.
Cultural Exploration
May, June, and September provide comfortable temperatures (18-21°C) for walking around town and exploring without the peak summer crowds. The mild weather means you can comfortably spend hours outdoors.
Adventure & Hiking
Late spring (May) and early autumn (September-October) offer the sweet spot of mild temperatures (16-20°C) and relatively dry conditions. You'll avoid both winter chill and summer heat during longer outdoor activities.
Budget Travel
November through March typically sees lower accommodation prices and fewer tourists, though you'll need to pack for cooler weather. The low rainfall means you won't be stuck indoors despite the off-season timing.

What to Pack

Year-Round Essentials

Light rain jacket
While rainfall is low, that 70% humidity and occasional showers mean you'll want something waterproof that packs small.
Comfortable walking shoes
French towns typically involve plenty of walking on cobblestones and uneven surfaces, so prioritize comfort over style.
Reusable water bottle
France has excellent tap water and public fountains, plus you'll be doing a fair amount of walking in all seasons.
Small day pack
Essential for carrying layers as temperatures shift throughout the day, plus any shopping or picnic supplies.
Sunglasses and sunscreen
Even with moderate temperatures, UV exposure is real, especially during those long summer days from May through August.
Power bank
You'll likely be using your phone heavily for navigation, photos, and translation apps throughout the day.

Skip These Items

Heavy beach towels (accommodations provide them, and you're not dealing with tropical beach weather) Excessive formal wear (French casual tends toward smart-casual rather than dressy) Hair dryer (hotels provide these, and it's just extra weight) Too many shoes (you'll wear the same comfortable pair 90% of the time) Full-size toiletries (readily available in French pharmacies and supermarkets, often better quality)
