Records in Sight? France will Experience “Mind-Blowing” Weather this Week, the Forecast

The weather will be abnormal this week, with worrying temperatures for the month of November. Here’s what to expect over the next few days.

François Jobard, meteorologist at Météo-France warns about on the BlueSky app this Friday 7th November 2025: 20 to 25 °C or even more possible in many regions, sometimes even in the mountains! quite mind-blowing for mid-November. ”

Indeed, the forecasts are clear even if it will be windy (which will actually fuel the heat), it’s going to be very hot in the middle of the week. Too much, even for the month of November.

We explain.

What is expected

Concretely, France will face a peak of mildness, between Wednesday 12th November and Thursday 13th November. If it has already been mild for a few days, for the season, temperatures will soar and monthly temperature records could fall.

In fact, according to weather models, the temperatures could reach 25 °C. In autumn. On Thursday, even 26 °C could be reached. A special sweetness, particularly in the southwest where the weather could be the mildest in France.

Temperature “records” are possible, specifies Yann Amice, meteorologist.

The Weather Channel forecast for example maximum temperatures at 25 °C in Pau, 18 °C in Le Havre and 19 °C in Paris for Thursday. These would be monthly records, then.

Overall, expect to exceed 15°C in a northern half and 20°C in the south.

How to explain it?

How can we explain this very unusual heat for mid-November? Yann Amice, points the finger at the first manager, “ a deep thalweg stretches from the North Atlantic to the Canary Islands, controlling a very well structured south to southwest flow.

This thalweg is in fact a stretched zone of low atmospheric pressure, “a sort of outgrowth of a depression”, specifies Météo-France. The depression in question had been initiated by former Hurricane Melissa after his time in Europe.

And this low pressure system, almost stationary, will persist this week in the near Atlantic, “which will encourage the rise of subtropical hot air”, describes Yann Amice, also recalling that an anti-cyclone is present in the East of Europe.

So, if we schematize, france finds itself between a depression and an anticyclone : enough to greatly encourage the rise of hot air from the Sahara, and mechanically, the rise in temperatures to reach exceptional values, “mind-blowing” for the season.
