Toulouse weather

Toulouse’s weather is pretty much as perfect as you can get. Long hot summers coupled with short mild winters and seasons either side that see the best combinations of both. Add to that low annual rainfall, and you have a great overall climate for a holiday at any time of the year. Summers in Toulouse can see temperatures reach into the 30s. If you like hot weather this is perfect, but if you prefer things a little cooler, then spring and autumn are perfect times to visit the city. Winters are also a delight, with temperatures averaging around 13 degrees. Anyone up for Christmas in Toulouse this year?
