But, we all felt it, it was not the mildness that was most obvious in recent weeks, but rather the precipitation and the lack of sun. “We will escape the record of only 28 hours from February 2010, but we will only be a little above. We were at 24 hours this Monday, but we were able to add a few hours on Tuesday and Wednesday. The normal is 72 hours in February! For precipitation, we will reach 23 days out of 29 with at least one drop of rain, given what is forecast for this Thursday.”
After a lousy Monday, what weather can we expect for the rest of the carnival holidays? “We might reach 15 degrees next week”
More generally, the winter of 2023-2024 will take third place for the mildest winters with 6.3 degrees, compared to a normal value of 4.1 degrees. “December and February were extremely mild, and it was the cold spell in January that saved us from the record,” analyzes Pascal Mormal.
So here is a winter that we hope to quickly forget. And if the first days of March will not be nice, the second of the carnival holidays should bring a little sun and mildness – up to 15 degrees in the middle of the week – but not yet real spring weather. “Under the influence of an east to southeast flow, we should experience several days of dry weather with maximums around 10 to 12 degrees in the center of the country. From March 11, the risk of precipitation will increase a little and we will lose 1 or 2 degrees,” indicates the IRM.
And Pascal Mormal specifies: “We are generally expecting slightly warmer weather than average and normal precipitation for the season during the month of March.”
More generally, the specialized site La Chaîne Météo is not expecting a sunny month of March. “All in all, the month of March promises to be generally seasonable, with no particular excesses in terms of rainfall and temperature. If you are waiting for the mildness of spring, you will, a priori, have to wait a little longer,” we read.
