Bad weather is losing intensity, but the parade of disturbances that descend from the North Atlantic continues over France.

This situation, which will last until the end of the week, will cause the rivers to react in a more general way by increasing flood levels at present. Snow continues to fall at an altitude of 800 m over the western Pirenis and Massif-Central, but is less intense since Monday.
