Where these figures come from & how we choose months
NASA POWER modelled area climatology, January 2001–December 2020, retrieved 28 September 2026. This is historical climate guidance, not a forecast or a measurement at the venue. The area query is centred at 47.500° N, 4.375° E; the meteorological grid is about 0.5° × 0.625°. Elevation, coast and local shelter can change conditions substantially.
We select the three months with the lowest score: distance of the monthly mean from 20°C, plus twice the average daily precipitation in millimetres. This is an editorial preference for mild, relatively dry conditions, not an official wedding-season rating. Monthly precipitation is mean mm/day multiplied by calendar days, using 28 for February. Always plan an indoor alternative.
View the original NASA POWER data ↗Compare summer with May and September
July has the warmest June–August mean in this area dataset, at 18.8°C. For a different seasonal comparison, look at September: its mean is 14.6°C, with about 51 mm of rain over the month.
| Month | Day-and-night mean | Monthly rain |
|---|---|---|
| May | 13.0°C | 77 mm |
| June | 16.9°C | 65 mm |
| July | 18.8°C | 64 mm |
| August | 18.3°C | 68 mm |
| September | 14.6°C | 51 mm |
| October | 10.6°C | 73 mm |
For warmer dates, ask about shade and cooling. For cooler dates, ask about evening shelter and heating. Neither a lower monthly rainfall total nor a suggested month removes the need for an indoor plan.
