Climate in this area has mild differences between highs and lows, and there is adequate rainfall year round.  The [[Köppen Climate Classification]] subtype for this climate is "[[Köppen climate classification#Group C: Temperate/mesothermal climates|Cfb]]" (Marine West Coast Climate/[[Oceanic climate]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather-summary.php3?s=71070&cityname=Cambrai,+Nord-Pas-de-Calais,+France&units=|title=Cambrai, France Köppen Climate Classification (Weatherbase)|website=Weatherbase|access-date=29 March 2018}}</ref> However, the city is about {{convert|110|km|mi}} from the nearest coast.<ref group=note>[[Dunkirk]] is {{convert|113|km|mi}}, [[Berck]] is {{convert|121|km|mi}}.</ref>

[[Precipitation]] is distributed year-round, with highs in the spring and autumn, with February being the driest month. Contrasting with the rainy image of the region, the total annual precipitation is relatively small with {{convert|642|mm|in}} at Cambrai-Épinoy; identical to the Montsouris Paris station, which is at the same altitude, it is less than those of [[Toulouse]] at {{convert|656|mm|in}} or [[Nice]] at {{convert|767|mm|in}}. However, the number of days of rain (63 in Nice, 120 in Cambrai) confirms the oceanic character of the climate.

The mean [[Atmospheric temperature range|thermal amplitude]] between the winter and summer does not exceed 15&nbsp;°C. Although again establishing a comparison with Paris, that Cambrai is 1.5 to 2&nbsp;°C colder over all combined seasons.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.infoclimat.fr/climatologie/index.php?s=07156&aff=details|title = données climatiques de Paris Montsouris, période 1961–1990|work = infoclimat.fr}}</ref> On average, there are 71 days of fog per year (Paris-Montsouris has 13) 15 days of storm (Paris-Montsouris has 19) and 20 days with snow (Paris-Montsouris has 15).

If comparing the data of Cambrai and those of towns such as [[Dunkirk]] or [[Boulogne-sur-Mer|Boulogne]],<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.meteo59-62.com/index.php5?page=climat-nord-pas-de-calais#tnm|title = Le climat du Nord – Pas de Calais|work = le site de l'association Météorologique du Nord – Pas de Calais|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131018043101/http://meteo59-62.com/index.php5?page=climat-nord-pas-de-calais#tnm|archive-date = 2013-10-18}}</ref> there are colder minimum temperatures and a warmer maximum in Cambrai, the difference being approximately 2&nbsp;°C, as well as a larger number of freezing days and less heavy precipitation: It's described a "transitional" oceanic climate, with some continental influences.

The temperature record in Cambrai is {{convert|38.2|°C|°F}}, which was established on 6 August 2003<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.recordmeteo.com/weather-records/france.php?lang=fr&cd=cambrai&frname=Cambrai|title=Record Meteo|access-date=19 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150520185006/http://www.recordmeteo.com/weather-records/france.php?lang=fr&cd=cambrai&frname=Cambrai|archive-date=20 May 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> (data collected since 1954 and record updated to 5 September 2013).
