Milder temperatures should set in. “A disturbance associated with a mild air mass is sweeping the entire country, in a southwest/northeast direction. This mild air puts an end to the snow and freezing rain which required monitoring,” explains the organization. In Paris, it is 11 degrees this morning compared to -2 degrees on Saturday, a difference of 13 degrees in 24 hours.
Snow persists in part of the country: “A layer of snow of 1 to 2 centimeters is still present from northern Lorraine to Bas-Rhin,” according to the bulletin.
