Starting this Wednesday, November 20, the first snowflakes should form in France and affect three French departments that Météo-France has placed on yellow alert. This comes as a “cold snap” hits France at the start of the week.
That’s it, winter is here. At a time when France has been hit by a cold snap since Tuesday, November 19, with a drastic drop in temperatures and torrential rain expected in the north of the country during the day, the first snowflakes are expected this Wednesday November 20 on the relief of the East of the country.
As a result, Météo-France has placed three departments expected to record the first snowfall during the day on Wednesday. These are Savoie, Haute-Savoie and Isère. As the National Institute of Meteorology indicates, this is explained by the “presence of very cold air at altitude”.
