Font weather

Bonjoy posted this link on another thread:

Which would be a jolly useful way of knowing when to go climbing in this country if it wasn't for the fact that we're stuck here whatever the weather is like. What would be really useful would be to have one of these babies for Font. Does anyone know any long range forecast sites for that place?

...they can't get the weather right in 2 days time, so how accurate are these going to be!  I didn't find any good weather web sites for Font last time I was looking and resigned to looking at the 10 day forecast for Paris on weather.co.uk.  I don't know french though, which might be useful.

Well rather than long term forecasts as such, I was more interested in approximate yearly weather patterns - like on the link above.

This is almost what I was looking for:

Shows that the driest cold time to go, on average, is Feb.

These singularities are based mainly on broad areas and weather systems which pay scant regard to political borders. Originally they were proposed for broader areas - ie North-west europe rather than UK. So, as you've found, best period for the peak is probably also the best period for font...
Another analysis http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/craig-cgi/singularity_2.cgihere with a more detail and a slightly broader scope.
