I do love sitting out on a warm evening listening/watching someone else get it

We were in the dordogne last year from 20.8.to 2.9.11...when we arrived it was 38 degrees, and it was no fun putting the tent up in that heat!!...still it was great to cool off in the pool afterwards!!...we had mainly fab weather...one day after a huge thunderstorm we had rain all day and temp dropped to 13 degrees!!...however after that it was fine.

one thing i did notice that during the second week mornings were a lot cooler and it took until arroud 11am for it to get hot, but weather overall was great!

Loads to do in the dordogne and the caves are great...we use them to cool off in when the weather gets too hot!!

We've camped in France for the last 10+years. We've only had one stinker - wet and cool and that was our first year in Normandy. Since then we've experienced everything from monsoon downpour (while travelling twixt sites), golfball sized hail stones (just for 1 hour one night, mid France)and 40 degrees overnight for 2 weeks (don't even breathe on me)and everything else in between. Generally better within 10 miles of the coast on the Vendee.

Nothing is predictable, even in the UK. If the weather is coming from the West then for those of us in Yorkshire, it has to climb over the Pennines - an obstacle for most!
Fingers are crossed for late July early August.

Well we've decided to take our chances in the Dordogne.

We'll have a good holiday ,a better one if the sun shines but either way we're going.

Really looking forward to it now .

Last August it was baking hot in Dordogne. We went around 15th. It was over 40 every day. Evenings and mornings cool however, just baking between 10 and 10. Had planned an emergency get out elsewhere if rain stopped play - didn't need it!
