Winter 2025/26 was abnormally warm with February rainfall 100% above normal, causing €3 billion in flood damage across France.
France is expecting its first cold snap of the winter this week, with freezing temperatures and snow forecast for lowland areas. French weather forecaster, La Chaîne Météo, has warned that this week marks the arrival of "real winter weather". With a low-pressure system descending from the North Sea, forecasters warned in the weekly bulletin that rain and snow, even at lower altitudes, were on the horizon for later in the week.
