Weather and Climate in the south of France

Weather Forecast | Weather Maps | Weather Radar The climate in the summer months resembles that of the Mediterranean coast with long, sunny days and balmy evenings when it is possible to sit out comfortably into the early hours (the patios are ideal for this). This part of France is protected from the harsh Atlantic winds in winter by the heavily forested department to the west of it, the Landes. It is sheltered from snow in winter by the Pyrenees and it enjoys mild and early springs, beginning at the end of February. The long, languorous summers, continue well into October and finally close with a late autumn before the onset of winter in late November. This part of France has a unique micro climate. Bathed for nearly 8 months of the year in magnificent sunshine and a relatively dry climate, makes for excellent outdoor recreational activities and almost year round al-fresco dining. During the high summer months it can get very hot during the day and temperatures reach into the high 80´s F and low 90´s F, with spring and fall temperatures hovering in the mid 70´s F. Mid-summer is very hot and dry, the temperatures often is exceeding 90° F. Toulouse is one of the hottest cities of France, with often more than 300 sunny days in the year. Outside of the summer months, the weather is still extremely pleasant and sunbathing can be possible as early as April and as late as November, making an off-peak holiday a very attractive proposition, particularly as sightseeing can be more comfortable. The winters vary, with often negative temperatures, but the climate remains soft all the same and dry, the department is one of sunniest of France. The annual rain varies from more than 900 mm in the south-west of the department, to less than 700 mm in the North-East .
