Saturday: Temporary Precipitation with Gradual Improvement
[Afternoon Forecast]
The weather will deteriorate on Saturday, but the adverse conditions will be short-lived and characterized by intermittent rainfall. A respite is expected before and after the passage of the disturbed zone, reports La Chaîne Météo. In the mountainous regions, the rain/snow limit will be situated above 1500-1600 meters in the Pyrenees, with 25 cm of snow anticipated at 2000 m. Conditions are forecast to improve by Sunday, with a prolonged period of unsettled weather expected the following week.
[Regional Breakdown]
- Western Region: A disturbance will traverse the western part of the country in the morning, bringing moderate rainfall and wind.
- Eastern Region: Clear skies are anticipated in Alsace, Lorraine, the Jura, and the Alps.
- Afternoon Outlook: Clouds and rain will spread to Champagne, Burgundy, and Auvergne. Conversely, the Cévennes can expect heavier rainfall. Snow is likely to return to the Pyrenees above 1600 m.
- Northwestern and Aquitaine: A mix of clouds and clear spells will prevail, with occasional showers. Elsewhere, the weather will remain dry under cloudy skies, ahead of the approaching disturbance.
[Temperatures]
Temperatures will dip slightly following Friday’s peak, but they will remain well above seasonal norms. Afternoon temperatures are expected to range from 11° to 18°C.
Sunday: Return of Sunshine and Mild Temperatures
Sunday is expected to be similar to Friday. Clear skies should dominate due to a rapid increase in atmospheric pressure associated with the return of the Azores High. Near the English Channel, clouds may persist as a new disturbance approaches from Brittany to the Cotentin in the evening, bringing rain and wind.
[Temperature Range]
Temperatures will range from 4 to 11°C in the morning. In the afternoon, maximum temperatures will vary between 11 and 17°C. These temperatures will be significantly higher than seasonal averages.
