The climate of Avignon (France)
Avignon the historic town in the south of France knows a rich history.
In the fourteenth century this town temporarily became the residence
of the Pope. This famous inhabitant of course had inevitable effects
on the town. The town is on the UNESCO world inheritance list and is,
with its pontifical palace and famous bridge “sur le pont d ‘Avignon”,
certainly worth visiting. The weather there is mild. The influence of
the Mediterranean is still well noticeable here. In the winter the
temperature hardly drops below zero and with a decent amount of sunny
hours it is very warm there in the summer. Only when the mistral blows
from the hinterland the cold can pass through the town. This is mostly
in the winter.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
