Climate Chart of Tignes, France

Climate overview

Temperature

The monthly mean temperature reaches its highest point at 13.7 °C in July, while the lowest monthly mean is -6.2 °C in January. This gives a sense of the annual temperature range, but neither figure represents a typical daytime maximum or describes the full spread of temperatures within a month. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 3.3 °C. It is a summary of those monthly averages, not a day-weighted annual average, and individual days may differ from the monthly mean.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in January at 41.47 mm/day, and lowest in July at 0.16 mm/day. These are average daily snowfall amounts, not monthly totals; they do not establish the number of snowy days, snow depth, snow cover or skiing conditions. The unweighted mean across the calendar-month snowfall means is 18.54 mm/day. This broad average cannot show how snowfall is distributed from day to day.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in June at 3.86 mm/day and lowest in January at 0.08 mm/day. These are average daily amounts for the respective months, not monthly rainfall totals; the lower monthly mean does not guarantee rain-free days or indicate how often rain occurs. The unweighted mean across the calendar-month rainfall means is 1.73 mm/day. It provides a broad summary, but does not describe the timing or frequency of rainfall on particular days.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in July at 12.12 hours/day, and lowest in December at 5.07 hours/day. These figures can help with broad outdoor-planning expectations, but sunshine duration is not day length and monthly averages do not promise the conditions on a given day. The unweighted mean of the calendar-month sunshine averages is 8.61 hours/day per day. It is a summary across monthly means, not a guarantee of how much sunshine a visitor will experience.
