Unsettled conditions as the Easter weekend approaches. This Friday promises to be still rough with a strong wind which will particularly affect the South-East and Center-East of the country, with the Loire and the Rhône being placed on orange alert for this phenomenon, according to Météo France.
In the morning,
the sky will be gray over most of France with rain between Aquitaine, Limousin, Berry, Burgundy and the Grand-Est. Despite a hazy sky, the sun will be present in the south-east of the country between Nice and Perpignan, as well as in Corsica, with temperatures around 20°C. Note strong gusts of wind in the Center-East as well as in Brittany and Normandy.
In the afternoon,
conditions will remain more or less similar with deteriorating weather from the South-West to the North-East accompanied by stormy rain and strong gusts of wind in the north-west quarter and the south-east quarter of the country. An improvement to note between Lyon and Nice with the appearance of clearings. From the Belgian border towards the Paris region, Brittany and Poitou-Charentes, cloudy periods will alternate with timid clearings and a few showers.
