The weather in Burgundy

We used to provide a live weather feed on this page, now you can receive very accurate forecasts and even hourly trends on any smartphone, so we decided to retire our faithful weather station.

However, we will explain the typical weather trends over the seasons for a year, which may be of help to you in planning your trip or cruise to Burgundy.
