Rain and wind in the northern half of the country
In terms of forecasts, the weather police announce “very rainy weather which will cover from the morning and for the whole day a large northern half of the country up to the north of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the west of Auvergne and the north of Rhône-Alpes.
Precipitation which will increase “from the Pays de la Loire and the Center to the Grand Est in the afternoon and evening, while a sky of showers takes over near the Channel”.
Another notable fact is that the wind is expected to be “turbulent over a large northern half. In the morning, it will blow between 50 and locally 70 km/h, sometimes up to 80/90 km/h on the Channel coasts. afternoon, gusts could reach 60 to 80 km/h inland, locally 90 km/h in the heaviest rain, on the coasts and the relief.
Snow expected from 1,200 m altitude
Snow falls from 1200 then 1600 m in the northern Alps. In the South-West too, conditions are deteriorating: the sky becomes very cloudy, the wind is sensitive but the rain remains scattered during the day. Except in the west of Corsica where clouds and showers dominate, dry and bright weather, mainly cloudy, persists around the Mediterranean rim.
As La Chaîne Météo announces, “these snowfalls in the plains could affect the Lorraine plateaus, the Alsace plain, the valleys and plains of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. In Occitanie, part of Aveyron, Lozère and Tarn could be affected, when snow is likely to fall at the foot of the Pyrenees. If these forecasts are confirmed, the snow should not stick to the ground. at low altitude.
