While in recent weeks we've been bundling up with hats, gloves, scarves, fleece jackets, and umbrellas, it seems the weather is treating us to a lovely surprise this time, with an unexpectedly warm and lengthy mild spell for the season.

At the end of November, a polar cold and a little wave of snow settled over the capital, hinting at a dark and frosty winter. A few weeks later, nothing could be further from the truth! Indeed, to the delight of all the chilly folks in the capital, this week, we're putting away the parkas for mid-season jackets, with a notable rise in temperatures. One thing's for sure, the contest for the best snowman among colleagues will have to wait.


« No more seasons »

The experts are certain that on this Monday, December 8, 2025, France will experience maximum temperatures worthy of an April day. And considering we're not even officially in winter yet, it’s already the perfect time.

Spring is knocking at our door. The northern half of the country will experience temperatures up to 10° warmer than seasonal averages at the beginning of this week.

A situation caused by a change in currents in the upper part of France is allowing Parisians to enjoy an extremely mild weather: temperatures reaching 15°C in the afternoon are expected on Monday, December 8 and Tuesday, December 9, and 14°C for Wednesday, December 10. And, to top it all off, even though the sky will remain gray and overcast, the heavy rain forecasted last week should finally leave us alone!


A warmth that should last

By the end of the week, even though the thermometer will indicate slightly lower temperatures, they should still remain well above the norm, hovering around 12°C from Thursday to Sunday. Even better,

This unexpected warm spell is expected to last in the capital until December 20th according to the initial estimates, possibly lingering into the beginning of next week. These forecasts, while making us happy so we don't freeze in place every time we go out, are not very promising for the planet. In any case, a white Christmas will likely not be happening in 2025 !
