S****y weather in France?

Question

Is anyone else going to Arcachon within the next two weeks and pissed off about the weather forecasts? I've spent loads (well for me becuase I'm a student lol) of money on this holiday and thought it would be boiling hot in Arcachon, South France at this time of year and the weather forecast is actually worse than where I live in South Wales. I'm absolutely gutted and wondering if anyone else is in the same situation? Has anyone else been to Arcachon and can confirm what te weather is likely to be like? I'm leaving tomorrow.

Answer 5

for the same money as france you would have been able to thailand for a couple of weeks,  with the weak sterling /euro ........ still have a good holiday.

Answer 6

you really need to go further east to get good weather like north africa , greece etc ! sorry !

Answer 7

I live in France and there has been really stormy weather recently  and really bad flooding in places but the same has been happening all over Europe, not just France. Still that being said you can not really trust on line weather reports they are not at all reliable. Go on holiday and enjoy yourself don't worry about the weather and remember to count yourself lucky even if it does turn out to be rainy, you might only have a bit of a wet holiday, other people have had there houses flooded!

Answer 8

It's quite obvious you would have been better off going to Blackpool, it's your type of town you don't have to worry about the weather and there is always something to do.

Answer 9

Sorry to say i have just come back from there and the weather was like what comes out of a dogs ****!!

Answer 10

Well I live in France and there has been some very unseasonal weather around. It is expected to start clearing up by next Monday. (French weather reports).

That said, Italy, Austria, Germany and Spain have had some extreme weather occurences lately, so it is not just a local thing

Answer 11

Awww i feel for you Nikki!!!

South of France really is a bit iffy just like Northern Spain, weather can always turn nasty as it just isnt far enough South. You really should have looked into the Canary Islands, or Greece if you wanted some guaranteed nice hot sun!!

But i guess you've booked it now, so you'll just have to make the most of it!! I hope it stays nice for you, but if not try and have a good time still, and just remember next time to head somewhere else (Spain)

Answer 12

I thought Archachon was west france on the bay of biscay not south france.......anyway everytime i have heard a weather forcast say its hotter in the UK than in lets say Athens its usually complete c**p. I have been to west france at this time of year and the south come to think of it and the dodgy weather doesnt hang around for long then it gets tooooooooo HOT !!!!!!
