Matin
Near the English Channel, a raincoat is essential with the rain and the wind blowing at 60 km/h in gusts. Everywhere else, the weather is calm and cloudy, even heavily foggy. You benefit from more generous sunshine between the Pyrenees, the Alps and the Mediterranean.
Temperatures range from 3 to 6°C in 2/3 of the country, up to 10°C in the English Channel and near the Mediterranean.

Afternoon
The rains are increasing from Brittany and especially from Normandy to Hauts-de-France which are on alert with increasingly sustained winds, reaching 70 km/h in gusts. From the Pays de la Loire to the Ardennes to Lorraine via the Paris basin, the first drops arrive around 3 p.m. under stronger winds. Everywhere else, despite a hazy to cloudy sky, you continue to benefit from calm, fairly sunny weather near the Mediterranean.
Temperatures range from 8 to 10°C near the Channel where it feels wintry in the rain and wind to 10 to 14°C elsewhere, up to 16°C in the southwest and 18°C near of the Mediterranean.

Evening and night from Monday to Tuesday
Be careful from the end of the evening and during the night from Monday to Tuesday: a gale, classic for the season, affects a northern third of the country, from the Channel coast to the regions north of the Seine. Gusts could reach 80 km/h in sustained rain. Towards the south, the weather remains calm under a hazy sky which becomes cloudy during the night.
Further trend
The weather becomes very unsettled with strong unrest in the form of sometimes heavy rain, a lot of snow in the mountains and gusts of wind. A situation which presents a high risk of bad weather.
