The down jackets will be able to stay in the locker room. It will be very mild for New Year’s Eve in Toulouse this year. This Tuesday, December 28, 2021, showers await the inhabitants of the pink city. But that will change quickly. “From tomorrow, the rains will calm down. The sun will come back,” explains Thibault Guinaldo, forecaster at Meteo France. The day of December 31 promises to be ideal. “There are going to be sunny spells with a little wind autan. But it will be light, it will not be exceptional for Toulouse, “said Thibault Guinaldo.

If the weather is good, the mercury will especially rise. “The minimum temperatures will be 5 ° C in the morning. They will be rather warm in the afternoon, between 17 and 19 ° C”, notes the forecaster. An anticyclone is at the origin of this sudden rise in temperatures. “The southerly wind will bring a mass of hot air from Spain. We encounter this phenomenon once or twice a winter. This is not exceptional “, underlines Thibault Guinaldo.

Up to 25 ° C in the Pyrenees on New Year’s Eve

However, the forecaster adds: “The fact that it goes so high is exceptional. We are going to be well above seasonal norms“. The temperature differences are indeed impressive.” Usually, it is between 2 and 3 ° C above normal. There, it would be between 7 and 8 ° C “, notes the forecaster. He explains:” As the phenomenon will last several days, there will be a warming effect with the air mass “. fog could limit the rise in temperatures.

“There is a small risk on the morning of the 31st and uncertainty for Wednesday and Thursday. It will be cooler,” says Thibault Guinaldo. On the other hand, there is a risk of get very hot at the foot of the Pyrenees. After several episodes of snow in recent weeks, the mountain range is going to heat up. “The temperatures will exceed 20 ° C. It will be between 21 and 23 ° C. There is a possibility up to 25 ° C. But there are still uncertainties,” said the forecaster. From temperature records could therefore be reached at New Year.
