The cold is settling in over the\u00cele-de-France<\/a> region, and winter showers are on the increase. This week, snow in Paris is becoming a serious possibility, driven by air from the north. The weather services are now monitoring the episode, while everyone is getting organized. <\/p>\n

Polar cold over the region: what the forecasts say<\/h2>\n

According to the reference bulletins, this late November 2025<\/strong>, a flow of very cold air is descending on the capital<\/a>. As a result, minimum temperatures could reach -2\u00b0C to 0\u00b0C<\/g> on some mornings, with temperatures close to -5\u00b0C<\/g>. In this context, a passage of snow in Paris remains credible, especially during the heaviest showers. <\/p>\n

The best timing is in the morning and evening. In addition, a north-easterly wind could reinforce the cold, with gusts close to 40-60 km\/h<\/strong>. On the other hand, a short break in the weather could locally limit the accumulation of snow on the ground if the snow in Paris<\/a> remains light. <\/p>\n

When and where can snow fall?<\/h3>\n

The scenarios converge on a risk concentrated between the inner suburbs<\/a> and the city center. The banks of the Seine and the hills may also see contrasts from one district to another. Snow in Paris is likely to take the form of short-lived sleet, sometimes mixed with cold rain. As a result, snow depth will vary according to intensity and time of day. <\/p>\n

“A low intensity can be enough to turn roofs and lawns white, if the ground cools.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Soils that are still warm after autumn will play a role. A first sprinkling will melt quickly on busy roads. By contrast, shaded sidewalks and exposed cycle paths will freeze sooner. What’s more, departments to the north and east will remain the most vulnerable. <\/p>\n

Communes in the inner suburbs are likely to experience a longer-lasting risk. For example, an evening shower may surprise during rush hour. In Paris, snow could alternate with freezing rain on certain boulevards. Caution is therefore advised on bridges and ramps. <\/p>\n
