Rain and strong winds will arrive from the British Isles towards the English Channel before spreading across France.
Clouds will continue to settle in this Monday, over two thirds of the country, announces The Weather Channel *. Rain and strong winds will arrive from the British Isles via the English Channel, disrupting a rather calm start to the day.
A cool morning
Near the English Channel, a raincoat will be essential with rain and wind gusting to 60 km/h. Everywhere else, the weather will be calm and cloudy, even heavily foggy. You will benefit from more generous sunshine between the Pyrenees, the Alps and the Mediterranean.
Temperatures will range from 3 to 6°C over 2/3 of the country, up to 10°C in the English Channel and near the Mediterranean.
An afternoon in the rain
The rains will increase from Brittany and especially from Normandy to Hauts-de-France which will be on alert with increasingly sustained winds, reaching 70 km/h in gusts. From the Pays de la Loire to the Ardennes to Lorraine via the Paris basin, the first drops will arrive around 3 p.m. under stronger winds. Everywhere else, despite a hazy to cloudy sky, you will continue to benefit from calm, fairly sunny weather near the Mediterranean.
Temperatures will range from 8 to 10°C near the Channel where it will feel wintry in the rain and wind to 10 to 14°C elsewhere, up to 16°C in the southwest and 18°C near of the Mediterranean.
An evening under a hazy sky
Be careful from the end of the evening and during the night from Monday to Tuesday: a gale, classic for the season, will affect a northern third of the country, from the Channel coast to the regions north of the Seine. Gusts could reach 80 km/h in sustained rain. Towards the south, the weather will remain calm under a hazy sky which will become cloudy during the night.
Trend of the next days
The weather will become very unsettled with strong unrest in the form of sometimes heavy rain, a lot of snow in the mountains and gusts of wind. A situation which will present high risks of bad weather.
