This weekend, the weather is under the influence of a powerful anticyclone which maintains calm conditions over the country, often gray in the north, sunnier in the south. Small morning frosts may have appeared in the east and in the valleys of the Massif Central and the Alps. More unsettled and cooler weather is expected at the start of next week.
A grayness present in the north
From Thursday to Saturday the weather often remains gray in the regions of the northern half of the country, with gray weather present in the morning and which often persists during the day. Conversely, the good weather is confirmed in the mountains, in the Rhône valley, Provence, the Côte d'Azur and even the south-western plains and Corsica.
A few frosts appeared Thursday morning, of low intensity.
We thus noted at daybreak:
- -1.6 °C in Châtillon-sur-Seine (21),
- -1.5°C in Pissos (40),
- -1.2 °C in Nevers (58),
- -1.2 °C in Bergerac (24),
- -0.9°C in Colmar (68).
Other small morning frosts will occur over the next few nights, locally from the South-West to the eastern borders.
On Sunday, more humid air rushes in through the northern borders bringing some light rain to the north-eastern quarter of the country. The imposing cloud cover over the north of France extends its influence over the southwest. The weather remains sunny, however, in the south-east of the territory.
More disturbed and cool: weather change from Monday
From Monday, a change in weather is expected. A rainy disturbance arrives from the Channel coast in a west then northwest flow.
Much more unsettled weather is expected next week, with more frequent and more marked precipitation, the return of snow in the mountains at low altitude and a much windier atmosphere. Temperatures will continue to drop during the week and will take on a more wintry character.
