This Wednesday, April 1st, France remains under the influence of a northerly flow along the edge of a high-pressure system, creating contrasting weather patterns across the country. From the morning onward, clouds dominate across much of the country, particularly in the western two-thirds where some drizzle is possible. Conversely, the southeast enjoys brighter weather despite persistent mistral and tramontane winds, with gusts reaching nearly 90 km/h. Meanwhile, significant snowfall is occurring in the Pyrenees at higher elevations.
As the hours pass, the contrast intensifies between a frequently gray west and a sunnier east. While sunny spells struggle to break through along the Atlantic coast, they become more pronounced from Alsace to Provence, where sunshine is widespread. In the Pyrenees, heavy snowfall occurs above 1500 meters, creating drifts in the wind and making driving conditions difficult. Temperatures remain cool for this time of year, generally ranging between 11 and 17°C in the afternoon.
The situation remains largely unchanged this evening. The sky remains overcast in the west with some light rain, while the east enjoys clearer conditions. Snow continues to fall on the Pyrenean peaks. Temperatures, falling slightly, range between 7 and 13°C, in a generally calm atmosphere still characterized by the contrast between overcast skies and sunny spells.
