Hotel South of France | Languedoc Weather

Welcome to Hotel le Domaine aux Quat'Saisons
We offer hotel bed and breakfast rooms near Carcassonne, Aude, Languedoc

Weather

The Languedoc is in Southern Europe and borders the Mediterranean sea: hence there is lots of sun and dry weather all year round (but especially in summer) and the summer is hot.
The winter climate in the westerly parts of northern Europe such as Ireland and the UK is warmed by warm water from the South, the Gulf Stream, so despite the southerly aspect of the Languedoc average minimum temperatures in winter are as a low as they are in the UK and Ireland (but much warmer than in the rest of northern Europe)

Languedoc is hot in summer

Languedoc Roussillon's temperatures vary more widely than the UK's - with far higher maximums, especially in summer, but minimums that are, in January and February, just as cold. Summer in the Languedoc reaches the mid-30's in July. May, June and September offer the best weather. The water is warm enough to swim in from May to September.

Languedoc is very sunny and dry

Languedoc Roussillon is much sunnier than the UK - average hours of sunshine are more than 10 per day for the months of June, July and August. Rainfall is also lower in Languedoc Roussillon - especially in summer - where the sun beats down for weeks on end without a drop of rain.

Rain falls seasonally

Autumn, October and November, can have sudden, torrential rain storms that swell the rivers and often cause flooding. Thankfully, the sunshine usually returns after 2-3 days even after the heaviest downpours.
