The weather forecast for the Christmas weekend announces particularly mild weather that will not be conducive to the joys of snow…
The year 2022 has definitely not finished breaking historic heat records. While winter officially started on Wednesday, the weather for the coming weekend promises to be particularly mild with temperatures well above normal for the season.
Thus, between now and the Christmas weekend (Saturday and Sunday), the mild anomaly will see the mercury rise to +5 or even +6°C compared to seasonal norms. And this, in most regions of France.
? This week promises to be particularly mild. The thermal anomaly might rise to +6.5°C compared to seasonal norms. The 0°C isotherm will take off at more than 2500 m, far too high for the low to medium mountains. The #snow can only fall at high altitude. pic.twitter.com/CjA9wVGCEH

Bad news for winter sports resorts which nevertheless ensure sufficient snow cover on their slopes thanks to artificial snow. But lovers of snowshoeing in particular will not have the time to indulge in it in the coming days since the mildness of this weekend will be expected to last the following week despite a slight return of cold weather on Tuesday.
It should be noted that, at the same time, the British Isles should face, within a few days, a cold snap with snow forecasts as far as London. The conflict between very cold air over England and hot air in France might cause a storm on the Channel coasts.
