Climate
The Charente-Maritime climate is mainly an oceanic climate: the pluviometry is high in fall and winter, winters are mild, the sunshine is the best of the whole atlantic coast. The sea breeze frequently appears in the summer : triggered by the ground's rapid warming up in the course of the day, whereas the sea temperature remains constant, it is translated into a wind which is sometimes strong and which blows from the sea to the land in the afternoon: the breeze is also translated into pleasant maximum temperatures.
