After a week marked by showers, the good weather returns this weekend, but not for long.
The week was very disrupted with heavy rain and strong winds. The weather in September was not the best. In a report from September 1 to 24, The Weather Channel estimates +53% precipitation compared to the normal assessed for 1991-2020 with on the contrary -16% sunshine. So you have to take advantage of every ray of sunshine, and they will be there this weekend. The installation of an anticyclone will clear the sky, but due to the north wind, temperatures will be cool. The sun will still allow small outings on Saturday and Sunday in many departments, you just need to cover up well.
In more detail, on Saturday, in the west and in the center of the country, the sky will alternate between clouds and clearings, which will be more marked in the Atlantic arc and particularly in Brittany. From New Aquitaine to the north of France via the Paris region, the sun will be very present. In the south-east, good weather will also prevail, but the wind will blow. It is in the east that the climatic conditions will be further complicated, with relatively humid weather especially in the morning.
Temperatures will, on the other hand, drop and oscillate between 3 and 12 degrees in the morning and 13 to 20 in the afternoon. They will therefore be between 2 to 5 degrees below seasonal norms for the end of September.
We will have to wait until Sunday for the good weather to reach most of the country. Once the morning clouds and mist have cleared, a beautiful afternoon awaits most departments. Temperatures will be roughly similar to the day before, with some light morning frosts. “The risk of white frost is possible in the north-eastern plains, towards the Ardennes, the Morvan and the valleys of the central massif. The thermometer could even very locally approach the freezing point at 0°C, causing a real jelly”, details The Weather Channel. We will still note 23 degrees in the afternoon on the Côte d’Azur.
Unfortunately, this blue sky will only be short-lived. From Sunday, a disturbance will arrive from the west. Brittany and Normandy will be affected by wind and rain. Conditions which could spread to the rest of the country next week, for a gloomy start to October.
