You know, those moments when you look out the window hoping for a ray of sunshine despite the weather, but where you find yourself facing an episode worthy of a disaster movie. So, hold on tight, because the weather has its own scenario planned for us!
The Storm Kicks Off
Imagine: it’s Saturday, and while some are planning a lie-in or an outdoor getaway, nature has decided otherwise. From 6 p.m., a major deterioration hits the south of the country, transforming the landscapes into winter postcards, with a special mention for this precipitation which does not come in half measures. We are talking about heavy rain and snow here, not only up there on the peaks, but also at altitudes where it is usually rarer. The center-west is showered with intense rain, while the Pyrenees are covered in a thick blanket of snow.
A night of high tension with this weather
The night from Saturday to Sunday is not to be outdone: a secondary depression, like a surprise guest at an already lively party, plunges the center-east to the south-east into an atmosphere worthy of a meteorological thriller. The rains are increasing in the Alpes-Maritimes and the Var, and even the Cévennes are not spared. And as the mercury drops, the snow becomes bolder, venturing up to altitudes where it is usually a rarity. The Saint-Etienne basin finds itself in the spotlight, threatened by massive accumulations of snow, while the risk of avalanches reaches peaks in the southern Alps.
The ballet of temperatures and precipitation
This Saturday, a real meteorological duel is playing out: on one side, the cold air, like an invader from the north, pushes the disturbance towards the center of the country. On the other, the gentle air, like a fierce defender of the Indian summer, tries to resist. The result ? An increase in rain, transforming certain regions into real scenes of shipwreck. There are precipitation accumulations worthy of a month of rain in 24 hours.

After the weather: between respite and vigilance
But as after every storm comes calm, Sunday brings its share of improvements. The snow, this capricious artist, continues its spectacle at low altitude in the center-east. For the Alps, like sentinels, maintaining the fort under a significant risk of avalanche. The south is finally seeing clearings emerge, promising a long-awaited calm.
This weekend reminds us how crucial it is to stay informed and prepared for the weather. Whether you are passionate about winter sports, a hiking enthusiast or simply concerned about your daily life… The importance of following the forecasts and taking appropriate measures cannot be underestimated. Because if the weather has its own language, it is important to know how to listen to it and react accordingly. So, are you ready to face what the sky has in store for us?
