Unsettled, Mild Week in France as Forecasters Eye Mediterranean Downpours Late Week

Monday opens with eastern rain plus mistral and tramontane gusts peaking near 100 km/h.

Overview

  • An Atlantic disturbance is delivering rain across the east, centre and Île-de-France on Monday before shifting east, with brighter spells returning in western regions.
  • Strong regional winds persist in the south and Corsica, with 70–100 km/h gusts widely and up to about 80 km/h near Castellane plus 50–70 km/h in parts of Vaucluse and Bouches‑du‑Rhône.
  • Temperatures stay relatively mild for late October, generally near 10–18°C in the mornings and 11–21°C in the afternoons depending on region.
  • A brief improvement Tuesday will give way to increasing cloud and a southerly flow midweek, as rain redevelops in southern areas and spreads northward.
  • Thursday is expected to bring widespread rain nationwide, including a stormy spell in Corsica, while forecasters flag a potential episode cévenol from the Cévennes to Languedoc‑Roussillon; the Toussaint weekend outlook remains low‑confidence with models diverging on a drier window versus another Atlantic passage.
