This Friday, February 21, sweetness is remarkable in France. From daybreak, the 10 degrees are exceeded in the western half. On the rest of the country, they oscillate between 4 and 10 degrees. A peak of sweetness is expected in the afternoon with 15 degrees in Lille, 16 in Paris or 19 in Bordeaux, according to The weather channel. These temperatures are worthy of an April month. The national thermal indicator (average minimum and maximum temperatures in 30 reference cities) will reach 11.8 ° C this Friday. This will be the sweetest day of winter so far. Time is, in addition, rather calm on most of the country.
However, a disturbance arrives on the side of Brittany with wind and rain. Gusts up to 80 km/h are planned. At the end of the afternoon, rain is also expected on the Cévennes. As the evening progresses, the rains will gain ground towards the Pays de la Loire and Lower Normandy.
This disturbance will unfortunately expand on Saturday, affecting the 3/4 west of the country with low to moderate rains, despite the maintenance of sweetness. The rains will be frequent from Normandy to the north. In Cévennes up to 100mm of precipitation is expected. Showers can take a stormy character. In the afternoon, the rain will win Champagne, Burgundy and Auvergne. On the northeast, the deadlines of the morning will be short-lived with a midday rain relay, said Météo-France. In addition, it will snow in the Pyrenees with up to 30 cm thick. The rain/snow limit will be located above 1500-1600 meters. The wind will also blow in the Rhône valley and Val de Saône up to 80 km/h.
This time should not drag on. Lightening will arrive from the west from Saturday evening. On Sunday, the improvement will be confirmed, even if the disturbance will linger in the Southeast. The thinnings will return to the rest of the country, except around the Channel where the clouds will still be numerous, a new disturbance being expected in the evening of Brittany in Cotentin.
These beautiful weather and humidity alternatives are expected to continue next week. Météo France plans, in fact, “at the start of the week, a disturbed time and rather humid before an improvement thereafter. Very soft temperatures should return to seasonal levels during the week”.
