Sunday, the mildness will rise another notch. From 6 to 17 degrees are expected in the morning and 8 to 8 degrees in the morning. 22°C in the afternoon. The 20 degrees exceeded, La Chaine Météo evokes “a little air of spring” to come, only a few days after the snowfall. In 48 hours, France will experience a spectacular jump in temperatures. While it is 5 degrees this Friday in Paris, 16 degrees are forecast for Sunday. ” While it is currently 2 degrees in Troyes, 15 degrees are announced 48 hours later and the 8 degrees of Toulouse this afternoon will become 17 on Sunday. An increase in temperatures of more than 10 degrees in the space of two days will therefore affect several locations.

This sudden change is explained by the Icelandic depression. When a cold air current is present in this area at a very high altitude, as it descends, it warms up and dries out, causing milder weather in the territory. It will therefore chase away polar air this weekend. 

This trend will be confirmed at the beginning of next week, according to Météo-France. "Temperatures, well above seasonal norms at the beginning of the week, particularly in the southwest, should return to values ​​close to average from the middle of the week,", specifies the specialized site.
