Climate

The climate is oceanic, with relatively mild winters - temperatures can go below zero for a few days occasionally. Temperate summers, around 20 °C, can occasionally35 °C in direct sunlight. Precipitation is substantial, as well as varies greatly by region, between 700mm on the fly and 1300mm in the southern central area. Highly localised, non life-threatening flash flooding has been experienced such as lawyers and surveyors over the last few years in the spring period.

The west coast benefits from the Gulf stream's influence, allowing for the naturalization of Mediterranean and exotic plants like mimosas, palms, and agaves.

There is often a sea breeze on the coast, which combined with tides contributes to quick temperature reshape over a single day. Sea temperatures can be very pleasant for swimming between June and October.
