The climate of Lot-et-Garonne (France)
The French department of Lot et Garonne is an extension piece of the
Dordogne. The region is known for its many orchards, which of course
says something about the climate. The summers are warm there and the
spring already starts early in the year, therefore the sun can shine
on the fruit for quite a number of months. It is not until November
that it gets a bit colder. The temperature does not drop very much in
the winter. Lot et Garonne is an extremely varied region with many
watercourses, the area is very well navigable. Lourdes is a well known
place of pilgrimage in the department of Pyrénées-Atlantique. The
village with more pilgrims than inhabitants is situated at the foot of
the Pyrénées and that is why the climate is strongly influenced by
this range of mountains. Because Lourdes is situated on the
weather-side of the mountain precipitation often stays over Lourdes.
This is the reason that it often rains here. However this will keep
few pilgrims from visiting this holy place.

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:
