Polar Air Mass to Bring Sharp Drop in Temperatures Across France This Weekend

A cold front will bring strong winds, rain, and potential snowfall as winter weather intensifies starting Sunday.

France will experience a significant weather shift beginning Sunday, December 8, as a polar air mass moves in, causing temperatures to fall below seasonal norms.
Strong winds are expected on Saturday, with gusts potentially exceeding 100 km/h in the northwest and along coastal areas, before calmer conditions return Sunday.
Daytime temperatures will struggle to exceed 10°C nationwide next week, with some regions in the northeast seeing highs near 0°C by Wednesday, December 11.
Snowfall is predicted at higher altitudes across mountain ranges, including the Alps and Pyrenees, while lower elevations may see sporadic snow in the northeast and central regions.
The cold snap will persist for much of the week, with widespread frost and a wintry feel intensified by brisk northerly winds.
