Ce week-end les températures vont baisser sensiblement avec le retour de la #neige sur l’ensemble du relief, parfois à basse altitude. Temps très perturbé également dans le Sud-Est (#Corse comprise) avec une probable aggravation lundi. pic.twitter.com/MZ2h8FNoCp

Polar air
The temperatures will not exceed 10 degrees in Normandy this weekend. The polar air has invaded the British Isles since this Friday and began to reach the Channel coast. A northeasterly wind, already present Saturday, will strengthen Sunday and accentuate this feeling of freshness.
Il semblerait que le #froid arrive par le nord ce week-end, selon les dires d’un prévisionniste croisé tout à l’heure dans la rue (il portait un bonnet).
