The climate of Aquitania (France)
Aquitania is the area situated in the south-west of France at the
rough Bay of Biscay. This bay is particularly known for its hard wind
and you will certainly notice this on the Aquitania beaches. The
beaches make a real surfers’ paradise. But also the rest of the region
is very diversified with its vineyards around Bordeaux, the splendid
Dordogne or the beautiful forests of Les Landes. The influence of the
sea is generally very strong, which is the reason that Aquitania has a
very moderate sea climate. In the summer it does not get really warm,
about 20 degrees Celsius. And in the winter the temperature seldom decreases
below 10 degrees Celsius.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
