The
Weather in Vendée
The truth about the weather in
Vendée?
I
have lived in the Vendee for 8 years and I have been holidaying here for
25 years. If we take the period from mid-June to the end of August (10
weeks), then the following is an honest account of the weather:
Good
summer: hot and sunny 80% time.
Average
summer: hot and sunny 70% time.
Bad
summer, eg. 2011: hot and sunny 40% time
The summer weather is usually
reliably good, but the winter months are similar to the UK.
If
you rent a gîte for 1 week you could be unlucky, but the odds are
certainly in your favour. If you were to book for two weeks, then it is
very unlikely that you will be disappointed. We can't guarantee the
weather, but the chances are that you will have good weather during your
stay.
