Seasons
The Lot benefits from ideal weather for year-round riding as climate is usually dry and temperate. The average rainfall for the Dordogne Valley is about 140-160 mm per year. 

Spring
Spring is quite an unstable season often characterized by a succession of rainy and sunny episodes during the same day. Temperatures are usually mild in March and April, getting warmer towards May. However, some cold snaps can be observed.

Summer
Summertime is usually hot, recording, at times, temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius. However, it rarely stays very hot for too long. July tends to register slightly higher temperatures than August.
Chances of rainfall are quite low, but summer storms can happen. At times, it can get a little windy, which helps cool down the summer heat.

Autumn
Autumn is a nice time to visit with wonderful colors, comfortable temperatures and low chances of rainfall.

Winter
Winters tend to get cold but are often quite sunny! It very rarely rains for a long period of time here.
