Summer
has arrived. Three quarters of days are over 25° C with sunshine all
days for half of them. Nights under 15° C are rare. Still windy, rain
less likely. |
|
| JULY |
A
good month, difficult to separate from August, but the French, who holiday
in droves from mid July to mid August have probably got it right! Three
quarters of days have temperatures over 30° C with plentiful sunshine.
Nights can be too warm. It is still liable to be windy. Most days are dry.
A few thunderstorms. |
|
| AUGUST |
Difficult
to distinguish from July. The weather seems to go off towards the end of
the month. There are probably more thunderstorms than July. It's still very
hot, often over 30° C, with the occasional 35°+ C. Night still warm. |
|
| SEPTEMBER |
Early
September is often just a continuation of August, but the month overall
shows differences. Only a third of the days are over 30° C, less than
half have sunshine all day, but there is plenty and it is rare for day temperatures
to be below 15° C. Nights are above 10° C. Winds and rainfall light.
Some thunderstorms. |

The
amount of sunshine is roughly the same as in September but the temperatures
are falling. Only 10% of the days are over 30° C. The biggest group
lies around 25° C. At night 20 % are under 10° C but rarely less
than 5° C. Wind and rain as in previous months. Thunderstorms still
likely. |
|
| NOVEMBER |
Still
sunny, but there is winter in the air. On average only 3 days a month have
temperatures above 25° C. Most are between 10° - 20° C with
some less than 5° C. Frosts are rare. Wind and rainfall as in October.

Noticeably
less sunny than November, otherwise weather is roughly the same. Temperatures
rarely reach 25° C and are mostly between 5° - 15° C. Nights
are colder and night frosts, although rare, more frequent. Not a bad month.
Snow rare! |
