Hi Guys

I'm planning a tour in Normandie and Brittany in September - does anyone know the prevailing wind direction for the area? Thinking of starting in Roscoff and going to Le Harvre/Caen or similar but would i be better going the other way?!

Cheers guys

    The prevailing wind in all Europe west of a line roughly Denmark-central Switzerland-southern Portugal is westerly, i.e. the wind comes from the West, sometimes or some places heading more to the NE or the SE, but always some variation of west to east.
    Seasonal variations can mean winds from totally different directions but these short-term variations occur the more one is to the east within this area.
