Weather forecast for the Vía Podiensis in December

You can expect various weather types on your journey from Le Puy-en-Velay. The first week will be quite cold (average 4-8°C), with a mix of sun, rain, and snow, and even the chance of freezing rain.

As you head towards Saint-Privat-d'Allier and Aumont-Aubrac, temperatures stay around the same, and you'll still see a mix of sun and clouds with occasional snow or freezing rain.

The weather remains a mix when you travel towards Saint-Côme-d'Olt and Estaing, but you might experience heavier snow showers. Temperatures slightly increase, averaging between 4 and 8°C.

Midway through the journey, around Livinhac-le-Haut and Cajarc, the weather could be sunnier with chances of rain showers and the temperature is warmer (average 7-10°C).

From Varaire to Lauzerte and Moissac, expect temperatures from 10°C in the day down to 4-5°C at night. The weather will be mainly sunny, but it might rain sometimes.

Approaching Auvillar and Lectoure, expect temperatures between 10-11°C during the day and down to 5°C at night. It can be partly sunny or cloudy with chances of rain.

The final stretch across Condom, Aire-sur-l'Adour and Arzacq-Arraziguet, will be quite mild. Temperatures should be between 11-13°C during the day, dropping to 4-6°C at night. You can expect partly cloudy weather with some sun.

Finally, from Arthez-de-Béarn and Navarrenx to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, temperatures will be between 10 and 13°C with the chance for moderate to heavy rain.

This overview is for an early December start, walking the standard stages.
But, I'll be happy to make one specifically for this forecast.
