Every year, a big question mark hangs over Parisian heads: will it snow in Paris this winter? And at the start of the winter season, the weather forecasts are already leading us to speculate on the subject. So, will Paris be decked out in its white coat this weekend? After November’s snowy episode, here’s what the weather forecast has to say.
Will the snow be back in Paris soon?
If you live in or around Paris, it’s hard not to have noticed the cold gradually settling in. A foretaste of winter’s characteristic chill, this feeling is unlikely to get any better, and on the contrary, we could even see snow falling in Paris by the end of the week! While Paris has seen very little sunshine since the start of the school year, it’s another reminder that the good times are definitely behind us.
Since November, it’s been getting colder and colder in Paris. According to the weather forecasts, we’re in for some chilly temperatures this week, so much so that Friday could be synonymous with sub-zero temperatures. If the experts are to be believed, the conditions (temperatures, low-pressure track and humidity) could be ripe for snow this Thursday in the Paris region.
So, if the stars align, the first flakes could appear in the region. However, due to its “heat island” effect, Paris is unlikely to see any snow. If you’re hoping to see the first white flakes, your best bet is to head for Rambouillet or Milly-la-Forêt!
In conclusion, you’ll have to be patient before you see Paris decked out in its white coat! But let’s not forget: last time, despite our pessimism, the snow did fall!
