Big coats and umbrellas can be brought out again during this second part of April. The weather looks set to be very cool over the next few days, with temperatures below seasonal norms. A situation that we owe “to a powerful anticyclone which pushes into the center of the Atlantic Ocean, and shifts a northerly flow over France”, details La Chaine Météo. The fresh air coming from the pole should remain in France for a few more days.
