Burgundy Weather

Burgundy, in the North of France, has weather similar to England. The main benefit of Burgundy weather is that it is somewhat sunnier, with on average an extra hour of sunshine each day as compared to London. This can be shown by the following table, where the second column shows the average number of hours of sunshine per day in London, and the third column shows the same information for Dijon (the capital of Burgundy).

Although Burgundy has more sunshine than London, when it does rain, the rainfall tends to be heavier. Consequently, as can be seen below, the monthly rainfall in Burgundy is a bit more than in London. Also, due to its distance from the moderating influence of the ocean, summers tend to be a bit warmer and winters a bit colder in Burgundy as compared to London (see last two columns, showing the average daily minimum and maximum temperature).
