The rains will calm down on Tuesday in the Pyrenean departments, most going from red vigilance to orange vigilance for rain-flooding, while it will be the return of greyness and frosts in the north of the country.

The maximums will range between 2 and 6 degrees, up to 8/13 in Brittany and over the southern half of France.

The rains will calm down on Tuesday in the Pyrenean departments, most of them going from red vigilance to orange vigilance for rain-flooding, while it will be the return of gray and frost in the north of the country, forecasts Météo-France.

Two departments - Landes and Pyrénées-Atlantiques - remain on high red alert.

Aisne, Gers, Hautes-Pyrénées, Ariège, Haute-Garonne, Lot-et-Garonne and Tarn-et-Garonne are on orange alert for the same reason.

From red to orange for vigilance in the southwest

Orange rain-flood vigilance concerns Ariège, Haute-Garonne, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Hautes-Pyrénées and orange avalanche vigilance for all Pyrenean departments, specifies the meteorological forecast body.

If the rainy episode ends in the Pyrenean departments, it will still be necessary to count at the very beginning of the day on last rains in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques and the Hautes-Pyrénées, with a rain-snow limit at around 1,300 m, dropping towards 900 m but with residual precipitation.

From Brittany to the coastal departments of La Manche, the weather will be cloudy, with some drizzle, only affecting the coast in the evening.

From Languedoc-Roussillon to PACA, Alps and Corsica, the weather will be dry and sunny, with mistral and tramontane winds and northerly winds on the Isle of Beauty, gusts rising to 70/80 km / h.

Elsewhere, we will spend the morning in the gray, with fog in places, and freezing under sub-zero temperatures.

The evolution towards the clearings is favorable in the afternoon, but the low clouds will be able to resist in the regions of the north-east, in particular in the Val de Saône and the plain of Alsace.

Local hoar frosts

As for temperatures, the minimum will be very cool in Hauts-de-France, Île-de-France in the North-East and Center-Val-de-Loire in Rhône-Alpes, as well as in the departments located in the Massif Central.

Ice frosts will be observed from -1 to -4 degrees, locally -5 degrees.

It will therefore be necessary to pay attention, very locally, to the refreezing of still wet pavements.

Elsewhere, it will be between 0 and 3 degrees, up to 4 to 8 in Aquitaine, Brittany, on the Atlantic coasts and Corsica.

The maximums will range between 2 and 6 degrees, up to 8/13 in Brittany and over the southern half of France.
