The Gironde has an oceanic climate. The weather is relatively mild throughout the year with temperatures varying on average from 5 to 7 °C in winter and from 19 to 28 °C in summer. November, December, January and February are quite rainy. The Garonne valley often sees stubborn fog in winter and it is not uncommon to have thick fog in Bordeaux or La Réole and clear sunshine in Cap-Ferret. At the end of the summer, thunderstorms can be violent.
