A drastic drop in temperatures over the majority of France is expected this week. Potential snowfall is forecast down to the plains in some regions.
Cool temperatures, both in the morning and during the day, are forecast for this week of November 18, 2024.
Unsurprisingly, it is in the North and East of France that the first snowflakes could fall.
“If the risk of snow will be rather confined to the eastern reliefs at the start of the week, it should gradually spread towards the plains from Wednesday November 20 […] and extend to the northern regions between Thursday and Friday”explains meteorologist Guillaume Séchet on his Météovilles website.
Where is the snow likely to fall?
The day of Thursday, November 21, 2024 seems the most favorable for the occurrence of a significant snow episode, between the North and the East of the country. Uncertainty still hovers this Monday over the precise location of the phenomenon, as well as the expected accumulations.
Near the Mediterranean?
The arrival of cold weather will mean the return of wetter conditions across the majority of the country, except near the Mediterranean. “This region often remains away from disturbed weather in this type of disturbed northwesterly flow. underlines Guillaume Séchet.
The risk of snow is zero in this area, assures the meteorologist. “The air mass should remain too dry this time and the coldest air at altitude should also circulate noticeably too far north”he explains on his weather forecast site.
