The climate of Lyon (France)
The agglomeration of Lyon is the largest town of France except Paris
and the most important town of the Rhône district. Most Dutch however
know the town as an important bottle-neck of the Autoroute du Soleil
on their way to the south of France, Spain or Portugal and as the town
where the most important ANWB point of support is. On the way to the
south it is also mostly in this environment that a significant
improvement of the weather is noticeable if you have left Holland in
grey and/or wet weather. Lyon has a moderate sea climate with mild
winters and rather warm summers. In the late autumn you see
particularly the temperatures drop rather quickly to values around or
even below freezing-point. In the summer months the town is sunny,
reasonably dry and rather warm. For the viniculture however there is
sufficient precipitation for the grapes to grow abundantly. Of recent
years the interest for Lyon as a city-tour destination has started to
increase.

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:
