France Faces Split Weather This Weekend With Storm Jana Impacting the South

While northern France enjoys mild and dry conditions, the south braces for heavy rains, strong winds, and potential flooding from the approaching storm.

Storm Jana, driven by an Atlantic depression, is set to bring severe weather to southern France over the weekend of March 8-9, 2025.
The southern regions will experience heavy rainfall, with potential totals exceeding 150mm in areas like the Cévennes, raising concerns about localized flooding.
Strong winds, including gusts up to 140 km/h in parts of the Tarn and Aveyron, have prompted weather alerts in multiple southern departments.
Northern France is expected to see calmer weather, with mild temperatures nearing 20°C and only occasional showers in some areas.
Météo France predicts the unsettled weather pattern will persist into the following week, with wetter conditions and cooler temperatures spreading across the country.
