Weather for the weekend: slow improvement in the south, shy warm weather in the west

Through Cyril BONNEFOYmeteorologist

For your weekend, even if there will be less agitation than during the week, the weather still promises to be quite humid on Saturday due to the maintenance of the disturbed oceanic regime over most of France before an improvement by south Sunday. Temperatures will slowly warm from the west.

For the weekend, much of the country will retain often very cloudy and humid weather, especially on Saturday. In the south, an improving trend seems to be emerging under the effect of the rise of the Azores high pressure during the day on Sunday. This development would be accompanied by a very timid warmth at first in the southern and western regions.

Less hectic, but still wet

On Saturday, the disturbance of the day before will linger from the southwest to the northeast with lots of clouds and some snowfall from 300 to 400 m from the northeast to the center-east and 700 m up to 1000 m in the evening on the Pyrenees. The sun will dominate in the Mediterranean where the Mistral and Tramontane will blow strongly. Near the English Channel and the Atlantic, clouds will be numerous with some showers and the flow will gradually switch to the southwest sector ahead of a new disturbance.

Sunday, the new disturbance will progress from southwest to northeast with a lot of clouds in its southern part and some light and scattered rains in its northern part. To the east, under the influence of an anticyclone over southern Germany, the clearings will be fine and the wind will still blow strongly in the Mediterranean. Note that the precipitation will finally stop on the Pyrenees.

Towards a very slow easing from the west

It will still be quite cold on Saturday, especially in the east with some possible frosts in the central regions, due to the nocturnal thinnings and highs of between 2 and 12 ° C from Alsace to Brittany. Sunday morning, the frosts will be more generalized and more marked in the Massif Central in the northeast with an average of -1 to -4 ° C while it will already be between 8 and 12 ° C near the Atlantic. In the afternoon, the warmth will be effective in the west with 8 to 13 ° C. On the other hand from the center to the eastern regions, the cold air will resist with no more than 3 to 7 ° C on average, except near the Mediterranean where the 10 ° C will be painfully exceeded.
