Precipitation is abundant and amounts to about 1,300 mm (51 in) a year. Winter is the relatively driest season. In spring and autumn, when Atlantic depressions pass over the area, the rains are abundant because the southern currents are forced to climb the Alpine foothills. In late spring and summer, thunderstorms are quite frequent (and sometimes intense) in the afternoon and evening.
