When to go Tarn ?
The climate of the Tarn is characterized by a dominant oceanic influence, marked by heavy rainfall in winter and spring, as well as by the dominance of westerly winds. The temperatures, relatively mild (on average it is 13°C over a year in Albi), beat records in summer because of the Mediterranean influence. The department is then one of the hottest in the country! The east of the Tarn, influenced by the mountains, is more affected by rain and cold.
Several influences for the Tarn. To the north, oceanic influence, with winter and spring rains, westerly winds and mild temperatures (annual average 13 °C). To the east, a mountain influence with heavy rainfall, less sunshine and average temperatures of 9.5 °C.
