Weather forecasts indicate an early onset of winter conditions in Normandy and northern France, with snow expected in the Orne department as early as November 19, 2025. Météo France has issued yellow vigilance alerts for multiple departments, including Somme and Oise, due to snow, ice, and strong winds. The departments are also under alerts for wind gusts reaching up to 85 km/h along the coast, with the possibility of rain and snow mixed with thunderstorms, hail, and icy conditions. Temperatures are forecasted to drop to between -2°C and 1°C inland, with coastal areas experiencing slightly milder conditions around 4°C to 6°C. The region is experiencing a significant cold snap, with the first frosts and icy roads expected, especially on the night of November 19-20. The weather is expected to remain unstable through the weekend, with potential for continued snow, icy conditions, and high winds through Sunday. In the Orne department, snow could revisit the region a year after a major snowfall in November 2024, with experts predicting possible light snow showers on November 19-20, mainly on higher ground. Long-term forecasts suggest a return to normal winter conditions with some cold spells, influenced by a destabilized polar vortex, which may lead to colder temperatures than previous winters. Authorities advise caution for travel and outdoor activities, and residents are encouraged to stay informed about ongoing weather updates.
