Climate

Le Bourget-du-Lac, just like Aix-les-Bains, features an oceanic climate (Köppen: Cfb), but with continental climate influences, due to its interior position within France and near several mountain ranges like Jura mountains, Bauges and Chartreuse mountains. Thus, winters are moderately cold with sporadic snowfall, while summers are pleasantly warm and sometimes, stormy. Convective rainfall is frequent for much of the year, rendering high precipitation/day quotas. In spite of this, Le Bourget-du-Lac is highly influenced by lake Bourget, which moderates temperatures.
