Foix climate
Mountain-edge rain, freezes, summer heat, heating, and terrain shape the year
The nearby Cos Météo-France station reports a 12.4 degree Celsius annual mean, 1,004 millimeters of annual precipitation, about 121 rainy days, a 26.0 degree Celsius July average maximum, and a 0.9 degree Celsius January average minimum. It also records about 18.3 days at or above 30 degrees Celsius and 42.5 freezing-minimum days. These are nearby station readings, not an urban Foix series.
Inspect heating, insulation, windows, damp, roof, drainage, shade, cooling, winter footing, clothing storage, power, and the route to care. Use indoor markets, meals, reading, and cultural options when rain, heat, or energy changes the week.
