Weather on Wednesday will be dominated by rain throughout the country and more winter temperatures, according to forecasts from Météo France. Most areas, the next night will be watered by frequent showers, sometimes sleet, accompanied by strong gusts of wind.

But in a more winter atmosphere, the snow will fall at very low altitude, even in the plain. From northern Brittany to Normandy, Hauts de France, the Paris region to Grand-Est and eastern Burgundy, snowfall may temporarily whiten the soil in places.

Wednesday, over a large part of the country, the showers will still be numerous. From Normandy to the northern borders to Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, the showers will be snowy at very low altitude, from 400 meters in Rhône-Alpes.

Showers in the southwest

Storm and sleet may accompany them. But thanks to the gradual warmth, from Normandy to Ile-de-France and Hauts de France the risk of snow will diminish at the end of the morning. In the afternoon, in the northeast the showers will continue with a rain-snow limit which will be around 300 to 400 meters above sea level, while in the northwest the showers will become more scattered.

In the southwest of the country, the showers will be numerous from morning to evening, the rain-snow limit will be around 500 to 600 meters over the Massif Central, 900 to 1000 meters over the Pyrenees.

In Corsica, clouds and showers will be frequent over the west of the island, the rain-snow limit will be around 1,300 meters. The eastern side of the island should be spared a little more. On the coast of Languedoc-Roussillon and the PACA region, there too the risk of showers will be very low.
