Cold and rainy weather is currently affecting the plains, with snowfall reported in the mountainous regions of the Pyrenees. Météo France reported in the morning that the area is experiencing a "still very cloudy and overcast" sky, with frequent rains. Over the mountain ranges, the rainy activity is strong and has led to good snow accumulations. Snow is returning to the mountains, beginning at altitudes of 1800 to 2000 meters and reaching down to 1500 meters in the evening and during the following night. According to forecasters, this snow should fall on the ridges and peaks, as well as down to the summer pastures of the ski resorts in the Pyrenees. For example, at Mongie, mixed rain and snow are expected all day around the 1850 meters altitude. This situation, while surprising given the weather of the last months, is quite usual for this time of year. The trend will change starting Friday: although frosts are still likely in the mountains and cold temperatures are expected to persist, the sun will return over the Pyrenees. It should be noted that Météo France has placed Friday under a yellow alert for the risk of rain and flooding in the department of Haute Garonne, as well as in the Hautes Pyrénées, the Pyrénées Atlantiques, or the Ariège. A yellow alert indicates a moderate risk, prompting people to be cautious and take necessary precautions. The current weather conditions are impacting both the high-altitude areas and the lower-lying regions, with the potential for significant snowfall and rainfall. This pattern is part of a seasonal transition, where colder temperatures and precipitation are common during this time of year. However, the sudden return of snow and the possibility of flooding in certain areas highlight the need for vigilance and preparedness. Residents and visitors in the affected regions are advised to stay informed about the evolving weather conditions. The return of the sun on Friday may bring some relief, but the risk of rain and flooding remains a concern for several days. As the weather shifts, it is important for communities to be ready for both the challenges of cold and snowy conditions and the potential for heavy rainfall and its associated risks.
