After the snow, calmer weather can be expected for Christmas Eve, Tuesday December 24, 2024. France will benefit from anticyclonic conditions from this Monday, according to the main forecast models. It is therefore much less unstable weather than that experienced by France over the weekend which will take place, with in particular an increase in temperatures: they will exceed the national season averages by 1°C, estimated The Weather Channel .
A gray sky in the north, clear in the south
However, “a winter anticyclone rarely rhymes with good weather”recalls the specialized channel. The gray weather should therefore be present in the north and west of the country, without causing any notable precipitation. “New Year's Eve will take place in a calm atmosphere, under a sky probably very cloudy with a few drops possible over a good northern half, and more starry over a southern fringe”abounds Météo France.
In the afternoon and early evening, temperatures will be above the 10°C mark for the entire northwest quarter of the country. On the other hand, they will be cooler in the East, with for example 3 to 5°C in Alsace and Franche-Comté, and could be negative in the middle of the night.

Fog and drizzle on New Year's Eve
Be careful, however, of the risk of fog and drizzle, which could develop locally in the North and West, during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. Around the Mediterranean, the sky looks clearer, but frost cannot be ruled out between Alsace and the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur region.

Grayness in the north and sunshine in the south: this weather should continue on Wednesday December 25, Christmas Day, “with mild temperatures, above seasonal norms”specifies Météo France. In the morning, it will be 11°C in Brittany and 10°C in Île-de-France, but 5°C around Lyon and 3°C in Marseille, according to Météo France.
The snow should hold at altitude
Finally, although we should not expect to see snow falling in the plains at Christmas – a situation which has persisted since 2010 – the dry weather could help keep the falls this weekend “on all reliefs above 800 to 1,000 m”predicts The Weather Channel. Good news for winter sports enthusiasts.
