"open
the windows and let the vine spill in at night...
Don't argue with me, just do it!"
Charles, Massachusetts, USA
No-one can guarantee the weather, but we have been living near Cubertou since 1985 and this seems to us a fair indication of what you can reasonably expect from the weather and when to take advantage of Cubertou's exceptional location for star-gazing :
With an annual average of 2000 hours of sunshine, the Midi-Pyrenées
region is one of the sunniest in France. Temperatures in excess of 25°C
[77°F] are recorded for 60 to 80 days per year over most of the region,
rivalling those of the Mediterranean strip and the Rhone valley.
Spring, which comes very early, already has a summer feel – the perfect
time for hiking and walking. Between early April and late June, maximum temperatures
average 16 to 24°C [61 to 75°F].
In July and August, hot, intense sunshine prevails. Average minimum temperatures,
already high, now range between 13 and 15°C [55 and 59°F]. In the
daytime, average temperatures reach a maximum of 26 to 28°C [79 to 82°F].
This said, the air becomes pleasantly cooler at night.
Autumn often has the mildness of an Indian summer, noteworthy for wonderful
days of ultramarine skies. In the beautiful light of September, maximum temperatures
range between 21 and 25°C [70 and 77°F]. They remain very clement
in October with average maximum temperatures of 16 to 19°C [61 to 66°F].
Perfect for treating oneself to a quiet break whilst others are working!
