Weather improves in northern and western France

The weather in northern and western France is showing signs of improvement, with showers moving away and strong winds persisting along the coasts. In Brittany and Normandy, the last showers are clearing in the morning, leading to brighter skies in the afternoon.

Strong winds continue along coasts

The northwest wind remains strong, with gusts reaching 60 to 70 km/h along the coasts of the English Channel, driven by a deep depression passing off the coast of Scotland. Temperatures in Brest and Cherbourg range from 13 to 15 °C, while the Hauts-de-France region experiences temperatures between 12 to 15 °C.

Paris enjoys dry and bright conditions

Île-de-France is experiencing dry and bright conditions, with temperatures from 13 to 16 °C. This is described as the best day of the weekend for the capital, following a storm on Friday and showers on Saturday. Paris is regaining clear skies and a cleaner atmosphere, with temperatures ranging from 10 °C in the morning to 13 to 16 °C in the afternoon, within seasonal norms.

Daylight saving time extends daylight

The sun benefits from the daylight saving time change, setting around 17h30. The parks in Paris are once again accessible, offering a more pleasant environment for residents and visitors.

Cold but sunny in Grand Est and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

In the Grand Est and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions, conditions are cold but sunny, with a notable contrast between morning and afternoon temperatures. Nighttime minimums drop to 1 °C in the valleys of the Grand Est and exposed areas of Burgundy, where local frosts are possible.

Sunny autumn day in these regions

However, the sun takes over, providing clear and bright conditions throughout the day. Lyon experiences temperatures of 17 °C, while Strasbourg has temperatures ranging from 12 to 14 °C. These regions are experiencing a classic autumn day.

Warmth returns in southwest and Mediterranean

In the southwest and Mediterranean regions, the great warmth returns, making this the most pleasant area of the territory on this Sunday. Bordeaux and Toulouse reach temperatures of 20 to 22 °C under largely clear skies. The Mediterranean coastline regains very mild conditions, with temperatures up to 24 °C in Nice and along the Var coast.

Mild conditions and full terraces

The sea remains warm, and terraces in the south are once again full, marking a real Sunday at the end of Indian summer for these regions. The temperature ranges for the day are as follows: North and Normandy: 1 to 15 °C. Île-de-France and Centre: 1 to 16 °C. Grand Est: 1 to 14 °C. Southwest: 8 to 22 °C. Mediterranean: 12 to 24 °C.

Improved weather expected for the coming week

Looking ahead, Météo-France predicts a calmer week, with a return at least temporarily of the anticyclone starting Monday and rains much less frequent. Vacationers for the Toussaint holiday may hope for a second week more pleasant than the first.
