France experienced particularly difficult weather last week, marked by a violent and devastating episode in the Cévennes. Since this weekend, calm seems to have returned.
A lull during the All Saints’ Day holidays? If this is indeed the case since this weekend and at the start of the week of October 21, 2024, the lull should not last, announces La Chaîne Météo.

Sweet weather
This Monday, October 21, 2024, the weather is mild over the majority of France, except near the English Channel and Brittany in Nord-Pas-de-Calais due to the Ashley depression coming from the British Isles. Météo-France forecasts cumulative rainfall of 15 to 20 mm between Brittany and Normandy, with 30 to 40 mm locally.
The Ashley depression will once again bring bad weather to Brittany.
A lasting rainy episode is expected but this time, it occurs in a context of high tides.

Great sunshine Wednesday
Tuesday October 22, the sun will still be present over a large part of the country. Wednesday 23, bright sunshine is forecast for all of France, thanks to the return of the Azores anticyclone, specifies La Chaîne Météo. “Low clouds, mists and fogs are numerous. Beware of sometimes reduced visibility if you have to take the road.” Thursday 24, the weather will deteriorate, forecasts the weather station. The arrival of rains is expected in the south-east.
New Cevennes episode?
Friday October 25, the return of rain is announced with the possibility of a new Cévennes episode in the south-east of France, announces La Chaîne Météo. If the forecasts are confirmed over the days, the lull will really have been short-lived.
According to meteorologists, the Cévennes episode of last week, that of October 14, 2024, was one of the most intense in recent years. In particular, 800 mm of rain fell in La Croix de Bauzon, in Ardèche and 517 mm of rain in Villefort, in Lozère.
