The cold is back in France this week and he settles for a few days. Minimum temperatures will be very fresh.
January was marked by changing weather and very rainy periods, the pluviometric excess reaching 50%. The northwest has particularly suffered precipitation with the chain of depressions Eowyn, Herminia and Ivo. Temperatures have experienced a slight surplus of +0.5 ° C above seasonal normal.
The month of February started under the sun, with a beautiful weekend over a major part of France. That said, the drop in temperatures has not gone unnoticed. This morning on Monday, February 3, a general freezing was observed on 3/4 of the country, with up to -5 degrees. If the Mediterranean periphery manages to maintain sweetness, the northeast third does not exceed 5 degrees.
From Wednesday, a small kiss will rise in the northern half, accentuating the feeling of cold. Friday, the drop in temperatures will be even more pronounced with the arrival of a disturbance linked to a cold drop from Germany. Showers will be noticeable in the North, but also on the Alps and Corsica. Some flakes will even fall into Rhône-Alpes in low altitude.
The weather channel provides up to -12 degrees in the mountains. On the rest of the country the temperatures fall to -4 degrees this week. On weekends, they will always be below seasonal normal. It will therefore be necessary to cover yourself well this week. These temperatures will also allow good maintenance of the snowy mantle in the mountains until the start of the school holidays.
However, The weather channel Ensures that it will not be a cold wave, but a winter anticyclone conducive to frosts. These low temperatures should last the entire first decade of February – that is to say the first 10 days of the month – before a possible redoux in the middle of next week.
Météo-France announces for the next week that “temperatures should be softened to return around seasonal normal. A wet weather will be possible around the Mediterranean, but the rest of France should stay dry”.
