Climate Chart of Megève, France

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures are lowest at -1.7 °C in January, then reach their annual high of 17.2 °C in July. These are averages for whole months, not daytime highs, so they describe the broad temperature pattern rather than the conditions visitors will encounter on any particular day. The unweighted mean across the monthly temperature means is 7.4 °C. It offers a compact summary of the calendar-month averages, but does not represent a day-weighted annual average or show the range of temperatures within each month.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall reaches its highest monthly average at 30.10 mm/day in January. The unweighted mean across monthly snowfall averages is 11.72 mm/day per day. These amounts do not establish how many days have snowfall, snow depth or snow cover, and cannot determine skiing conditions.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly average at 5.04 mm/day in May, while the lowest is 1.03 mm/day in February. Visitors prioritising lower average rainfall can consider the latter as a conditional option; it is not a guarantee of dry days, nor does the average indicate how often rain occurs. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly daily-rainfall averages is 2.89 mm/day. These figures are daily means, not monthly totals, and they cannot by themselves describe the timing or duration of individual wet spells.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine is highest at 12.18 hours/day in July and lowest at 5.04 hours/day in December. The brighter monthly average may be useful when planning daylight outdoor activities, while the lower figure can help set expectations for sunshine duration; neither measures day length or guarantees the sunshine on a given day. The unweighted mean across monthly sunshine averages is 8.64 hours/day per day. It is a summary of the calendar-month means, not a prediction for each day's conditions.
