Field notes
Oceanic temperate — mild damp winters (December–February, 4–6°C average, frequent grey overcast and short daylight), warm comfortable summers (June–August, 20–22°C average, occasional 30°C+ heatwaves). Spring (April–June) is the cleanest working window — long days, low rainfall, café-terrace weather. Autumn (September–October) brings the second-best window before the grey winter sets in. Heatwaves have grown more frequent and severe since 2018; AC is still uncommon in residential apartments.
