Seasons of contrast in Bouches-du-Rhone
The Mediterranean climate that envelops the Bouches-du-Rhone is anything but static. It doesn't rain all that much, but when it does, it pours. This mainly happens in spring—from March to May—and in the autumn months from September through November. Rainfall is also more frequent in the higher areas, while the coast remains dry most of the time. And watch out for the infamous mistral: a cold, violent wind that whips through southern France at speeds of up to 115 mph between winter and spring. Summer temperatures dance in the mid-70s from June to August, and winter is sweater weather at 35–45°.
