Climate chart - Limoges
The climate of Limoges is temperate and influenced by the Atlantic Ocean: it is quite cold but not freezing in winter and pleasantly warm in summer. However, it has some continental characteristics too, so it can sometimes be very cold in winter and hot in summer.
The city is located in central-western France, at an altitude varying between 250 and 300 meters (800 and 1,000 feet) above sea level (although the airport from which the data are taken is at 400 meters or 1,300 feet). Since 2015, it belongs to the New Aquitaine region, while it was previously the capital of Limousin.

The winter is cold and gray. There may be relatively mild periods, when Atlantic currents prevail, and other colder periods, when the temperature drops below freezing.
Sometimes, there can be cold spells, in which temperatures can drop as low as -10 °C (14 °F) or even below. The coldest record is -21.7 °C (-7.1 °F) and was set in February 1956.

In summer, the temperatures are generally pleasant and lend themselves to outdoor activities, although sometimes there can be rains and thunderstorms.
At times, hot periods can occur, generally of short duration, which in recent years are becoming more frequent due to global warming, and in which the temperature can exceed 32 °C (90 °F). However, in Limoges, the altitude slightly above sea level makes the heat waves a little less intense than in the inland plains of France, in fact, the temperature has never exceeded 38 °C (100.5 °F), while in other areas, it reached or exceeded 40 °C or 104 °F in 2003 and 2019. The highest record is 38 °C (100.4 °F) and was set in July 2019 and in July 2022.
