While the weather has been very mild in recent days, the cold will land in France very soon.

This brings back fresh air from the southwest Atlantic. In addition, the anticyclone which will arrive soon will strengthen and settle over the country. The latter will ‘trap’ this soft air and maintain the softness present in our country“, explained the meteorologist Tristan Amm to the newspaper. The Dispatch December 28. But a radical change is coming.
In France, winter will finally come to the fore. The reason ? “A vast low pressure system will progress from Scandinavia towards the Mediterranean basin bringing a maritime polar air which will give a cold, gloomy and windy weather on France“, Explain the media La Dépêche in a second article.

From Monday January 3, the rain will fall in the North of France before spreading in the South, Wednesday January 5, 2022, and crossing it from east to west.
