What's the weather like, even in France Atm?

Crossed over from Luxembourg and on to Bastogne, weather has been ⛅ all day and no rain.
 
We left south of Poitiers,in the cold and rain
Squally showers at regular intervals.
Were overnighting at Labenne, a croissant's throw from Capbteton.
was supposed to be stormy.
It was hot and sticky,when we arrived.. Opened everything up.
Now it's raining and it's either distant fireworks or thunder.
The threatened storms look like clearing and we should have a reasonable day,tomorrow, with showers and brisk westerly winds, through The Basque Country .
 
Down here near Gourdon (Lot 46) it has been peeing it down today and heavy showers yesterday. Top temp about 15C and 7 - 9C at night.
 
Lovely day to cross the Basque Country.
Even had to remember how to turn on the air-conditioning.
 
First full dry day

Today was the first full dry day in Spain for us since we arrived sometime last week (after leaving France to get away from the rain).
Will be in Portugal tomorrow so the way it's being going I'm sure it will be waiting for us there!

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.

View attachment 57753 This is the view from the medieval stunning hilltop village of St Cirq Lapopie, over the River Lot Gorge.

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

I trust you mean heated pools. The swimming pools around here (46 Lot) are currently 20C without heating and the the gite next door has had the heat pump running for nearly 2 weeks now. Air temp currently at 8am today 12C - ridiculous, never known it so bad in September.
 
Yep it shows little sign of improvement. I keep watching the various weather sites and it was supposed to improve this week but now doesn't look as good. We were supposed to be in Gavarnie now where I gather its as low as -1 in the early hours and snow further up. I'm still marooned in Lourdes with a knackered van and crap weather. Someone get me out of here before I find religion!! :D

Mrs D is complaining her tan is fading and is bored. I'm quite happy sat in the van to be honest. It's a good van to sit in. :D after months of charging about being stuck doing nothing is quite nice. I'm reluctant to go out on the scooter anyway now as I left my helmet out last night returning late in the dark and it's full of water :(

It was a dry day but at 23:30 it rained so still no 24 hours dry.
Portugal just same. Lots of rain and fog in run up to border. Not raining here but lots of cloud and it could rain anytime.

I hear UK set for a heatwave - time to turn around.
 
Been here three weeks. And apart from a few days at the beginning g it has been tipping down every day. Came down via Orleans to the Aurverge, and now in Lot, visiting Pêche Merle tomorrow. Today is the first day there is some blue sky, had forgotten what that colour looked like. The dog is sick of being soggy LOL. Everyone keeps saying it will improve this week, fingers crossed. Has been colder and wetter than Scotland!
Just over two more weeks to go, so hope it warms up.
Cheers

Down at Uzerche and it's absolutely glorious :cool1:

Haven't needed any cash yet so not been to a ATM :dance:
 
We were at Uzerche 4 days ago and it was wet.

Today on the Ile de Re it has been blue sky and sun all day. Best day we've had in a fortnight. Shame we are heading for home tomorrow.
 
We are in sommieres a wet start this morning,nice afternoon but raining again now but forecast to be sunny and warm for the rest of the week
 
Was going to stay at Sommieres tomorrow but it's a bit out of the way so we'll do Mirepoix instead :dance:
 
It's improving in France but I don't think anywhere is likely to be "hot".

Got up into the high Pyrenees today and it's been a cracking day on the bike, plenty of sunshine but still cool especially high up. Despite the warnings of snow at 1500m there isn't any and we have been higher than that today. There is snow but more like 2500+ metres.

Looks cracking up here tomorrow but no more than 20c.
 
We have just left Gordes where it was 29 degrees, palace well worth a visit if in the area, but not if you have a fear of heights
 
We are here at the moment, sun is out, wine is flowing :)

At last some blue sky and sunshine, so,of course I spent it underground in a grotte :raofl: seriously, Cougniac cave was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen - awesome I. The true sense of the word.

Absolutely stunning day yesterday up at Gavarnie in the haute Pyrenees national park. Went right up to the top of col de tent on the bike at 7500ft and sat on the tufty grass on the mountain top in the sunshine watching marmots while Mrs D walked the narrow path into Spain. Amazing stars last night it was so clear.

Of over the col de Tourmelet today on the bike. About time. Must be worst September on record
