In recent years, France has experienced unusual weather patterns that challenge traditional expectations, particularly in November. Amid the changing climate, this particular Sunday stands out for its surprisingly warm temperatures, indicative of shifts in atmospheric conditions. With spring-like warmth breaking through the late autumn chill, Météo France’s forecasts highlight the influence of southern winds and the presence of storms that both invigorate and complicate weather patterns across the country.
On Sunday, 24 November, France will experience a temperature surge reminiscent of spring, with Biarritz basking in a balmy 23°C and Paris enjoying a comfortable 16°C. Météo France has announced this pleasant deviation from typical November chill, although an orange alert for high winds remains in place for the Pyrénées-Atlantiques due to the approach of storm Bert.
A warm south-westerly breeze is expected to sweep across much of the nation, carrying with it air from the Canary Islands, while powerful gusts will stir the atmosphere, providing a refreshing contrast. Wind speeds are projected to reach 100 to 120 km/h in the south-west, particularly near the Pyrénées, with other regions facing gusts of 70 to 80 km/h.
Morning temperatures are already notably mild, with Paris recorded at 10°C – a ten-degree leap from Saturday’s figures. By dawn, Nantes registers 14°C, while Brest and Montpellier warm to 15°C and 16°C respectively, alongside Biarritz. As the afternoon unfolds, thermometers are set to soar, potentially breaking November records. Expected highs include 14°C in Nancy, 15°C in Lyon, 16°C in both Paris and Brest, 17°C in Clermont-Ferrand, 18°C in Bordeaux, 21°C in Perpignan, and the peak warmth of 23°C in Biarritz.
This unexpected warmth is a stark contrast to the dreary winter chill often expected at this time of year, showcasing nature’s unpredictability and offering a small taste of what spring might feel like. So, once again, the warmth of late November reminds us that even as we creep into winter, the sun still has a few surprises to share with us.
