The weather on Friday will be fairly calm on the northern tip of the country, but rather gray elsewhere with some rain, according to Météo-France forecasts.

From the north of Brittany to the northern borders, the day promises to be rather calm with beautiful clearings and cloudy periods.

A few drops are expected very locally near the Channel or the Belgian border.

On the other hand, from the south of Brittany and Poitou-Charentes to Occitanie and the west of the PACA region, the day will take place under an overcast sky and sometimes marked and lasting rains, in particular in the Cévennes where the accumulations will be significant locally.

Snowfall on the west of the Massif Central

On the west of the Massif Central, snowfall will occur in the morning from 600 to 800 meters above sea level.

On the east of PACA and Corsica, there too the sky will be cluttered, but the precipitation will be more scattered.

It will snow from 1,500 meters on the Southern Alps.

From the Grand-Est to Rhône-Alpes, after frequent fogs or low clouds in the morning, the weather will turn to rain, the clouds will thicken in the afternoon and give more and more frequent showers.

On Aquitaine and the south-west of Midi-Pyrénées, except for a few showers on the Aquitaine coast, from the morning the trend will be calm with beautiful clearings.

In the afternoon, this weather will spread over most of New Aquitaine and the Midi-Pyrénées.

The minimum temperatures will be between 1 and 6 degrees in general, locally 0 or -1 on the Hauts de France as well as the Pyrenean foothills and up to 7 to 11 degrees at the edge of the big Blue.

The maximum will range from 8 to 14 degrees in general, they will reach up to 14 to 18 degrees in Burgundy and from southern Alsace to the Mediterranean rim.
