A preventively evacuated town in the Dordogne

This very marked disturbance over the northern three quarters of the country will bring continuous rains from the Gironde and Poitou-Charentes to the Massif Central, north of Rhône-Alpes, to the north-east of the country.

A "preventive" operation to evacuate 150 people, however, took place in Argentat-sur-Dordogne (Corrèze) pending a major flooding of the Maronne river expected overnight from Monday to Tuesday.

It will snow in the northern Alps at around 1,500 meters in the morning and then over 2,000 meters during the day.

Over the northwest as well as from the north to the center, after the morning rains, the weather will remain very cloudy with more scattered showers during the day.

A moderate southwesterly wind will blow over the northern and northwestern shores.

In the southernmost regions, the trend will be improving with clouds that will let beautiful clearings break through in the afternoon.

Around the Mediterranean, the Mistral and Tramontane will be less marked.

In the morning, temperatures will range from 3 to 8 degrees in the north and east of the country, from 6 to 11 degrees elsewhere, up to 12 degrees in Roussillon.

In the afternoon, it will be 11 to 15 degrees in the northern three quarters of the country and 15 to 20 degrees in the south.
