Climate in France

France has a temperate climate and except for the mountain areas and the far north east of the country, the winters are quite mild. In the North West the Atlantic influences the weather which can result in high humidity and strong westerly winds. The North East has a typical continental climate with hot summers and cold winters whilst in the centre of the country and the Paris basin the lowest annual rainfall is recorded but can be erratic. Around the coastal plains there is a pleasant Mediterranean climate where rain in the summer and frost in winter are unheard of.
