Was not good

Left France a couple of days ago because weather was just like UK summer from top to bottom.
Forecast was for it to remain same.
Now in Northern Spain and weather similar here too so still chasing the sun but heading west rather than directly south now.
 
We are down at the med apart from one day of rain, the weather has been good,today is warm but very windy

yes i can confirm its iffy, don't turn left, i have been here nearly 2 weeks (France,Belgium , south Holland,now on the Rhine in Rees Germany ) and it has rained almost every day.Have managed to get out and about though so don't let the weather put you off and if you only have 2 weeks don't go chasing the sun.
My trip so far

September 2017
 
Thank you all for the replies,,looks like I'll be heading south sooner than I thought.
Cheers all

Presently in the Limousin/Auvergne region, Some rain, usually early to mid morning then fine and the same is forecast for the next couple of days. Temperatures are 12ish at night to 22 centigrade during the day, occasional breeze. We have been swimming in pools on some sites
no problem, also a fair bit of sight seeing.

Have fun, cheers:drive::cheers::goodluck:

We arrived at Oistreham,Tuesday night.
It rained solid until we crossed the Loire at Nantes, midday.
By Poitiers, we were turning the Aircon on... We'd forgotten how, after such a bad summer.
Now at Sauzé Vaussis , on the market place aire... 110 miles north of Bordeaux,off the N10.
Shorts and sandals weather.
Had to put long sleeves on for a sunset stroll, through the town.
Odd showers forecast by Russian site, GISmeteo.... Usually pretty accurate,as they have spies everywhere.
We'll cross the Basque Country on Sunday... Fewer trucks.
 
Here in Brittany its been very unsettled this month but next week is starting to look a lot better - just when we're crossing the channel for a trip to Scotland.
 
Sat on juno beach in Normandy having experienced themost horrendous thunder storm overnight. Can confirm weather has been poor since arrival on wWednesday, considered chasing the sun but decided to stick it out. Forecasts suggest improvement in a few days.
 
Safe enough to say now weather in Brittany is terrible last 4 days 1 day heavy rain and since then long heavy showers and 10° at the momentIMG_20170915_114309352_HDR.jpg

Been out here for nearly three months and it's been a cracking summer. Best I can remember for July and August but about a week ago summer seemed to give autumn a miss and go straight into winter. The med coasts are warmer (not much) but you need to watch the wind as its been really windy. I'm now in Lourdes where top temps will only be 17c today although its sunnier than forecast. Before you start chasing the sun and rushing off it's worth looking at the whole if France and the surrounding countries as it's pretty grim everywhere.

Looks a bit better after Monday but not exactly tropical sadly.
 
Weather does change this time of year, down south lots of flash flooding season is starting from past experience. Worth thinking about when parked up ,,,we lost 35 vans in Rocquebrune 2012,,,told it was a one off never happened since Victorian times ..guess what happened following year ? climate change perhaps

Holidaybreak self insure vans so 35 x2 @ £25000 a piece expensive exercise.

Yeah, we left Sword beach aire, Hermanville, on Wednesday morning.
Weather was foul.
Better now though,resting at Sauzé Vaussais . Lovely weather for walking, though.
Looks like cloud and rain over the weekend
 
Currently at Brantôme, weather is changeable - heavy shower at 9am then lovely day until a shower at 9pm. Certainly much better when we arrived at Dieppe on Tuesday night. Weather is said to improve in the next few days - we have 2 weeks left so all good. 😎
 
I met a elderly lady today who was driving a stealth Mercedes Sprinter and had just returned from Italy, she said it was awful with VERY heavy rain and flooding, for most of the time she was there, it only got better when she left the Country and came North through France. Today she got nice sunny day in Dover????? Rather spoiled her holiday and that of her family who met her there for the fortnight. She however really enjoys driving the Van but no intends to buy a proper conversion. They were planning to buy a Dethleff motorhome and then her husband just died, leaving her alone. but she intends to carry on travelling and doing all the things they were going to do. We often hear of those on here that lose their partner and just want to give up, so use her example and carry on and do the things you wanted to do, rain and snow as well.
 
Currently at Aigues mortes a beautiful walled medieval town, yesterday it was cloudy but warm, today it is blue skies and sunshine and very warm

Weather (to be or not to be) Keep heading South

Hi We live south of Perpignan and the weather is still very mixed this morning 6 degrees!
Snow at 1500 metres.

Further south into Spain would suggest Teruel wonderfull Spanish town not to far and you can wild camp inside the town opposite the Guardia Civil super safe! 23/25 degrees

Safe Travels

Been sunny in Lourdes but cooler than yesterday max 16c. Felt freezing out on the scooter today. 7c this morning. We are planning a trip up the pass above Gavarnie but If its true about the snow we may not get there! I've never known it this cold in late summer. Your struggling to find anywhere in France over 20c max.

To think just two weeks ago we had everything open and limbs hanging out of the windows at midnight :D
