Matin
From the Pyrenees to the eastern borders, it rains heavily. The rain/snow limit is high, from 1800 meters in a virulent wind. In the north, you have showers and frequent showers in Hauts-de-France and Normandy with violent gusts of 100 km/h along the sea. Near the Mediterranean, the sky quickly clouds over. In Corsica, abundant rainfall is occurring in the west of the island.
You have 4°C in Sedan, 5°C in Marseille, 6°C in Lyon, 7°C in Paris, 10°C in Toulouse and 12°C in Bordeaux. In full wind, the feeling seems much colder.
Afternoon
Bad winter weather is coming your way. Blizzard conditions are setting in on all our massifs with heavy snowfall from 800 to 1200 meters depending on the massifs accompanied by violent gusts. Over a large northwest quarter, showers and showers punctuate your afternoon under turbulent winds, especially along the seaside at nearly 100 km/h. Near the Mediterranean, the Tramontane and the Mistral rise suddenly and heavy rains flood Corsica.
We expect 5°C in Rouen, 7°C in Paris, 9°C in Limoges, 12°C in Bordeaux up to 17°C in Perpignan. Be careful, in full wind, the feeling seems icy, close to 0°!

Soirée
The weather remains turbulent. It is still snowing heavily at increasingly lower altitudes, from 500 to 1000 meters depending on the massifs, all accompanied by violent gusts and blizzard conditions in the Pyrenees, the Massif Central, the Alps, the Jura and the Vosges. In the north and west, showers and showers tend to weaken in a still windy atmosphere.
Things to remember over the next few days
After another very turbulent Monday, the Azores high pressure returns and pushes the winter weather towards Central Europe and the Balkans for Christmas. In France, you will find calmer weather between Tuesday and Christmas Day, but often gray. Temperatures will start to rise.
The entire La Chaîne Météo team wishes you good preparations, happy holidays and a Merry Christmas!
