Developments in the coming days
The weather is very choppy on Monday with the passage of a rainy and strongly windy disturbance. The wind blows like a storm in the Rhône valley, in the south of the Massif Central and in the Pyrenees just before the passage of heavy, occasionally stormy rain. Tuesday, the weather improves, except in the northwest where a new disturbance brings a little rain. On Wednesday, the weather is mixed, between rains in the northwest and clearings in the south. Subsequently, the anticyclonic conditions could be imposed throughout the country in an atmosphere that remains mild for the season.
