Take out the down jackets, restart the heating and prefer the herbal tea to the small fresh rosé.
This Tuesday, winter takes its revenge after sunny and hot days for a few weeks.
On the program: generalized frosts in the north of the country and negative temperatures from the northwest to the northeast from -1 to -5 to -7 locally in Berry, according to Météo-France.
End of a week of record sweetness.
This Easter Monday will see an increase in the temperature drop already relevant on Saturday and Sunday.
And this is just the beginning ...
📉 The fall will intensify in the coming days, with the incursion of cold arctic air from the north.

This cold will cause wet pavements to freeze at the start of the day.
On the Breton coast and the Channel, temperatures will be slightly above zero, showing 1 to 3 degrees.
Fall of the thermometer also in the south of the country
In the other regions, temperatures will also be positive, from 0 to 7 degrees, from north to south of New Aquitaine, from 4 to 9 in Occitania and PACA, up to 10/11 on the shores of the Mediterranean.
In the morning, the weather will be unstable in Haute-Normandie, Île-de-France, Center-Val-de-Loire in the North-East, with showers mixed with snow or sleet.
From Brittany to Poitou-Charente, and from the north of Auvergne to Rhône-Alpes to the Southern Alps, the clouds will be little threatening.
Elsewhere, the sun will prevail, except on the Pyrenees, crowded with clouds with a few scattered snow showers, around 1,200 m.
Snow in the mountains
In the afternoon, the weather will always be agitated, under the showers at low altitude, from Hauts-de-France to the Grand-Est and up to Bourgogne-Franche-Comté as well as the Northern Alps.
Sunny but cool weather will continue in the south, on the Pyrenean terrain.
On the Massif Central and the Southern Alps, snow showers will occasionally occur above 1,000 m, in the Alpes-Maritimes.
On the rest of France, the weather will be variable.
The tramontane and the mistral will blow around 60/80 km / h.
Corsica will still experience a very strong westerly wind in the morning on the relief, the Balagne and around Bastia with gusts up to 90/100 km / h, or even more on the capes.
In the afternoon, the gusts will gradually weaken, only of interest to the south of the island.
A sensitive northwesterly wind will blow over a large part of the country, reinforcing the freshness.
The maximum will be very cool in the north, with 6 to 9 degrees, up to 10 in the west of the territory.
In the south, the mercury is barely more generous with 9 to 14 from the north to the south of the Rhône corridor, 11 to 15 in New Aquitaine and Occitanie.
It will be milder on the Mediterranean beaches, with 16 to 17 and even 20 degrees in the eastern part of Haute-Corse.
The expression "in April do not discover yourself by a thread" will rarely have been so appropriate ...
