With a mainly oceanic climate, the seasons are well defined and microclimates exist in the region. With sunny summers and microclimates present especially towards the islands of the Gulf of Morbihan, Brittany offers a magnificent landscape resembling that of the Mediterranean. Autumn and spring are relatively pleasant seasons with mild temperatures, although in autumn it can cool down quite quickly. It is from these seasons that the region derives its reputation as a rainy destination. Indeed, humidity is present due to low but recurrent rainfall.
In winter, in the islands and on the coast, negative temperatures are rather rare, but wind is the main element of this season.
