After the drop in temperatures and bad weather observed in France this week, due to the cold drop that hit the country, the weather is not expected to improve next week, with rain throughout the territory and a strengthening of the cold from Wednesday.
After the rain… more rain. Despite a slight improvement – and a few rays of sunshine – this weekend, after the passage of a cold drop over France, the good weather should disappear again next week to give way to rain, and cold in weekend. Only the Côte d'Azur should be, at times, spared from these conditions worthy of a month of November.
According to Météo-France forecasts, for Monday, it will rain over almost the entire territory starting in the morning and afternoon, with some clearing in the evening over the southern half of the country. Same observation for Tuesday where the rain should persist all day over the vast majority of the country with the exception of the Mediterranean rim.
In terms of temperatures, they will remain in line with seasonal standards throughout the territory, with the exception of the Côte d'Azur, where it will be very mild for the season. On Monday, it will be 11°C in Paris, 15°C in Bordeaux, or even 13°C in Brest. Tuesday, it will be 19°C in Marseille, 12°C in Limoges, 9°C in Metz and 7°C in Lille.
Falling temperatures and snow
From Wednesday, although the rain will still be present, with the exception of some clearings in Paris, Nantes or Auxerre, temperatures will literally drop over a large majority of the territory. Snow will even appear on mountain ranges and in certain plains.
Morning temperatures will range from 0°C in Bourg-Saint-Maurice to 17°C in Ajaccio, while in the afternoon it will be 1°C in Belfort and up to 17°C in Nice.
In the evening, negative temperatures and snow are expected in the mountain ranges, at low, medium and high altitudes. It will also snow in Chaumont (1°C) or in Aurillac (3°C).
The day of Thursday November 21 will still be marked by cold, with temperatures oscillating between -3°C at the bottom of the Alps and 10°C in Biarritz in the morning, with the exception of Corsica where the mercury will rise up to at 14°C. Showers are expected in coastal regions, while clearings are expected inland.
In the afternoon, rain will reach most of the territory, with snow in the Jura, the Alps and on the central massif, and temperatures still relatively cool, with 5°C in Strasbourg, 9°C in Toulouse, 5°C in Rouen, or even 6°C in Lyon.
Return of the sun and softness
Friday November 22, the weather will alternate between showers and clearings over the majority of the country, with temperatures between 1°C in Belfort and Bourg-Saint-Maurice, and 15°C in Nice and Ajaccio. It will be relatively cool in the northern half of the country and milder temperatures around the Mediterranean as well as in the Pyrenees departments and in the Basque Country.
The return of the sun will occur across the entire territory from Saturday November 23, with the exception of the Atlantic front, with temperatures remaining cool.
Sunday November 24, France will be split in two with clouds over the northern half, and sunshine over the southern half. Temperatures will finally rise above seasonal norms.
