Lemage Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 yes i know it's a shallow request but i have limited space in the car and would love the kids to be able to see out the windows.This weather in the UK is confusing me- is it as bleak in Normandy? - one day the woolies are out the next day the shorts. I have resigned myself to a summer in the Orne with a pac a mac and Wellies but a glimmer of hope would be nice ,we love to visit the local pool for a little bit of a sunbathe. We will just be happy to be there but does anyone know the long range forecast for the rest of August? - maybe i had just better order the logs now !!thankyou to you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssc Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Here in Limousin its rather changeable. Try this site below for a forecast up to 12 days ahead. You can search for your town or pick from the list. I find that sometimes it can be a bit pessemistic but better than some sites.http://www.lachainemeteo.com/aff_ville.php?langue=fr&num_pays=63&nom_pays=FranceBon vacanceTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Try www.accuweather.com which gives up to 15 days and has been reasonably accurate of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemage Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 thankyou so much - sunshine might be arriving- that'll keep the kids happy !!! and if it isn't accurate i will have to unwrap my new harry potter book that is sitting waiting on the side. i think i'll use your websites from now on as the weather seems better than on le meteo and i refuse to believe that summer will not arrive at some point- typical me i will only listen to the weather that i want to arrive- i'll be sat by the lake or pool in my pac a mac forcing the kids to go in no matter how cold it is - this is Summer you know !!!! thank you againNikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I would pack jumpers and long trousers for definate and some teeshirts and shorts just in case. We are a long way further west than you and it was hot yesterday but today its cooler and very windy with a lot more rain forecast for the channel coast all the way upto Calais again. Don't forget the waterproofs as well. There is no way now we are going to get high temperatures as it is far too late in the season, summer finishes here August 15th in Brittany.

woolybanana (ex tag) Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 This summer in the Vendée has been the worst in the 12 years I have been here but you might be lucky. Pack for wet and warm and dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemage Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 greece- that sounds good but unfortunately the budget won't stretch. The next trauma after the weather will be has MMe Fouine that has taken up residence in the loft evacuated!! let's hope so otherwise the smell after 6 weeks away will be awful let alone the damage she may have done- oh well we'll see when we arrive on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
