E.P. It is still nearly 30 °C in Bordeaux on this Tuesday, a temperature typically seen in late September or early October. Across France, the weather has been unusually warm, with Paris experiencing 24 °C, far above the usual October average. However, Météo-France and the Météo channel are predicting a change in the weather pattern, bringing rain and thunderstorms. This shift will begin on Wednesday, with a noticeable drop in temperatures, especially in the western and southern regions. Maximum temperatures are expected to range from 16 to 24 °C, moving from north to south.
In Paris, the temperature is forecast to drop to 19 °C on Wednesday, marking the first day under 20 °C since June 11, breaking a previous record by 30 days. This would be the longest stretch of warm weather since 1999, according to Météo-France's forecast bulletin. The Northeast will be an exception, with temperatures potentially rising above 25 °C in the Alsace plain, showing that not all areas will experience the same cooling trend.
The cooler weather is expected to continue into Thursday and Friday, which will be the coolest days of the week. Starting on Thursday, snow showers are predicted in the Auvergne mountains above 1,800 meters, as well as in the Pyrenees above 2,000 meters and in the Alps. These snowfall forecasts indicate that autumn is making its presence felt across the country. Between Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures will fall slightly below the seasonal norms, signaling the end of an unusually warm period and the arrival of more typical autumn weather.
