Weather Comparisons
In general the temperatures in the Dordogne are similar to those experienced in Spain and Portugal.
In particular the months of May and October are some of the nicest of the year, with temperatures averaging over 21C with 7 hours of sunshine per day (typically higher than the UK in July and August!).
The summers tend to be very hot with plenty of sunshine. Long spells of good weather are punctuated by some dramatic thunderstorms, which keep the countryside looking very green despite the high temperatures.
