The All Saints’ Day holidays begin this Saturday, October 19. Will the weather allow you to take advantage of it? The dates to choose are decisive.
This Saturday, October 19 marks the start of the All Saints’ Day school holidays. These will last for two weeks, until November 3. Holidaymakers are hoping to be able to enjoy decent weather, after the numerous episodes of rain which have marked recent weeks. During this first half of October, precipitation was, in fact, excess of 51%, with a sunshine deficit of 20%, according to The Weather Channel. A scenario that vacationers do not want to relive in this second part of the month, even if at this time, they are not expecting extraordinary weather.
The first forecasts are in and they are not very encouraging, at least not for everyone. The weekend which will open the holidays will be punctuated by gray weather and slightly falling temperatures. On Sunday, clearings could still occur in the south and east.
For the week of October 21 to 27, The Weather Channel opts for an “optimistic” scenario. An anticyclone could help reduce disruptions and allow for calmer weather. However, disturbances could persist in the northwest, near the English Channel. Same observation for Météo-France in its trends: “the weather should improve and dry out during the week. Temperatures remain a little mild for the season”.
The weather forecast site still predicts beautiful days. And he even takes the risk of outlining two dates not to be missed for a stay or an outing: Wednesday October 23 and Thursday October 24 are when the weather should be the best (or the least bad, shall we say) , over almost the entire country. You will therefore have to take advantage of it, especially as the week will end with the time change, which will shorten the days.
This respite could also be short-lived. Atlantic depressions are expected for the second week of rest. “The flow could be oriented to the northwest sector, therefore with a much fresher, cold and humid atmosphere,” predicts The Weather Channel. Very sad news for vacationers and those who hoped to take advantage of the November 1st bridge. The sun could however persist in the south. Given the delay, these details remain to be confirmed.
