The climate of the Jura Mountains (France)
The Jura Mountains are situated against the Alps and offer a splendid
view of these mountains. The highest tops of the Jura are some 1600
meters high, so it can be pretty cold there. In the summer months the
temperature also drops quickly there at night. Although in the summer
months the temperature can be agreeable in the daytime, it does rain
more in the Jura than in other places in France. Some 40 % of the area
of the Jura consists of forests, so it is an excellent region for an
active holiday.

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:
