WEEKEND WEATHER: A lovely Saturday with spring like weather in and around Lorient, but it will change on Sunday
The weekend weather forecast is that we should see a wonderful warm spring like day on Saturday as the anticyclone, focused on the near Atlantic, retreats little by little towards the Azores as of Sunday.
On Sunday though it will change, with plenty of clouds covering the sky, that look overcast withso drizzle expected on and off during the afternoon.

Stormy rains
Under the effect of the heavy rains of May 7th and 8th and the thunderstorms of Sunday 19th, the cumulative rainfall of May 2019, close to 60 millimetres on the coast, reaches nearly 90 millimetres on the country of Hennebont and 110 to 120 on the north of the country of Plouay on a theoretical average close to 70 millimetres (base 1998-2018). If from 2017 to 2018, the monthly accumulation approached the 70 millimetres in May, it reached 93 liters / m 2 in 2015 and, even more, 108 in 2000 and 2007; 114 in 2002 and 122 in 2008
