The weather will remain gloomy on Thursday from the South-West to the North-East, brighter in the North-West and near the Mediterranean, according to Météo-France.

From the South-West to Auvergne Rhône-Alpes and the German borders, the day will be very cloudy overall.

In the morning, the rain will fall lightly in Aquitaine and Midi-Pyrénées, but in a colder atmosphere light snowfalls will still occur from around 300/500 m on the Massif Central, the Center-East and on the first heights of the Northeast.

In the afternoon, the risk of light snow will decrease towards the massifs

In the afternoon, the risk of light snow will decrease towards the massifs with a rain-snow limit around 1,000 m in the Pyrenees, 400 m in the Massif Central and the northern Alps, and still a few showers of rain and snow possible in the Grand Est and the Jura.

On the north-west quarter to the north of Aquitaine, the sky will become more variable, divided between beautiful clearings and cloudy periods sometimes carrying a shower north of the Seine.

The sun will return more generously around the Mediterranean, but at the cost of a fairly strong tramontana and mistral.

The gusts will reach up to 90 km / h in the evening in the lower Rhône valley.

It will be between 1 and locally -3 degrees in the morning

In the morning, temperatures will be positive on the Mediterranean border, south of the Garonne, from Poitou-Charentes to Brittany and on the Channel coasts.

Elsewhere, it will be between 1 and locally -3 degrees.

The maximum will not exceed 2 to 6 degrees from the northeast quarter to the Massif Central and Rhône-Alpes.

It will be 6 to 9 elsewhere, locally 10 to 11 on the Aquitaine coast and 10 to 14 near the Mediterranean.
