In the summer months, temperatures can reach as high as 26℃ (80℉) in Monaco. The coldest it usually gets in winter-time in Monaco is around 1℃ (33℉).
The longest days between sunrise and sunset in Monaco are usually in July, so if you want to get the most out of your daytime activities, be sure to plan your visit around this time.
