Tarn-Et-Garonne : When should you leave?

At the crossroads of the mountainous influences of the Massif Central and the mildness of Gascony, the Tarn-et-Garonne has a degraded oceanic climate: mild and humid winter, rare snowfalls, hot and generally dry summer. Rainfall is rare around Montauban, while the northeast is very wet in winter and spring, with a peak in May. Fog often falls in the valleys in late fall and winter.

When to go to Tarn-et-Garonne ? Between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, Toulouse and Bordeaux, Tarn-et-Garonne oscillates between the mountainous influences of the Massif Central and the mildness of Gascony. The autumn period in Tarn-et-Garonne is like an Indian summer, with temperatures that are still very pleasant, accompanied by the blaze of the countryside. It is a good season to stay in Tarn-et-Garonne except for a few storms. Cold winters are rare in this department; generally they are mild and wet. There is no ice but sometimes fog. Spring is a very pleasant season with sunshine and average temperatures in the morning around 10°C and in the afternoon around 20°C. Rainfall is mainly brought by westerly winds and peaks in May. Summer is hot, even very hot, but there are many rivers and water holes to cool off. This is the high tourist season. For hiking, it is better to wait until the end of the summer and lower temperatures. Here, there is no relief where you can find coolness as in other departments of Occitania.
