After several unsettled days, the weather is calming down somewhat this Friday, but at the cost of a significant drop in temperatures this morning. Frost is widespread in many regions, particularly from the Auvergne to the northeast, with temperatures often between -3 and 0°C in rural areas. Conversely, cloud cover is already increasing in the northwest, with some possible drizzle near the English Channel, while the mistral and tramontane winds remain strong in the Mediterranean.
The afternoon will bring a marked contrast across the country. Sunshine will prevail in the south, creating a more pleasant atmosphere, while the northwest will remain under a persistent blanket of cloud. Light rain may affect Normandy and Hauts-de-France, while the rest of the country will experience more variable skies. Temperatures will remain modest, ranging from 8 to 12°C in the north and up to 16°C in the south.
In the evening, calm prevails across most of the country, but clouds linger over the Channel coast with some lingering drizzle. Elsewhere, sunny spells continue, particularly around the Mediterranean. Temperatures drop rapidly after sunset, with the air becoming cool again.
This Friday thus illustrates a typical seasonal transition, between marked morning freshness, relative mildness in the afternoon and persistent contrasts between a grey northwest and a largely sunny south.
