The famous 15th!
I will let you into a little secret - sometimes it rains in Provence! and when it does boy does it rain.Summer officially ended 15th September 2009. After a prolonged hot summer (it had only rained once since early June)the rain has finally come with avengeance.
Ask any local Provencal about the weather and they will tell you how it changes after the 'quinze' or fifteenth. In August it can bring storms for a few days (this year there were none until this month). The fifteenth of November see the distinct change in temperatures from Autumn to winter.Whilst the 15th February will see the change from Winter to Spring. The following three months are normally warm spring sunshine occasionly inturupted by rain. This leads to our settled and warm summer normally from mid May (the 15th!) .
This mornings sky bring hope that the fronts are clearing.
The weather in Provence can be as dramatic as its scenary!
