Bergerac Weather

Bergerac Weather – Temperate
The Dordogne is the third largest département in France. The landscape changes from the ‘Bassin Aquitain’ – the coastal plain around Bordeaux – in the southwest, to the higher country in the north. The numerous rivers that flow through the area follow this north/northeast to southwest trajectory, gradually combining in the Dordogne, which in turn flows into the Gironde estuary. Generally, the Dordogne enjoys a varied and temperate climate. If you come from the south of England you will find that the summers are hotter than in the UK, but that the winters may be colder. In Bergerac it rains on average on 112 days in each year – usually more in the winter months.

Weather In Bergerac – Nice and warm
In the summer there is more sun in the southwest of the area – the band stretching up from Bergerac to Ribérac – than elsewhere. During this period the temperature exceeds 30 degrees for about eight days each month. Take advantage of the region’s tourist gems; stroll along the edge of the Dordogne’s beaches and visit historic sites. The very mild evenings are ideal to savour local gastronomic delights outdoors. The phenomenon of heat building up to a crescendo, culminating in a dramatic storm of thunder, lightning and rain – which clears the air – is an unmissable summer spectacle.

Bergerac Winter Weather - Milder than England
The first frosts usually appear towards the end of October, particularly in the narrow valleys in the north and east, and will continue until the end of April. But, within the area there may be variations of fifteen days or so for the onset or the end of ground frost. Average temperature during the winter months in Bergerac is a degree or two higher than the south-east of England.
