This Saturday, April 22, 2023 and like every morning, Midi Libre takes stock of the weather forecasts in France and in the region.
The rainy and stormy degradation that began the night before, spread to the whole country on this first day of the weekend. In the morning, under a cloudy sky, there are rains or showers which extend from Brittany to Ile de France and to the Pyrenees with a risk of thunderstorm marked from Poitou-Charentes to the Centre.
From Hauts-de-France to Champagne-Ardennes, the weather is calmer but the morning mists are very present. The afternoon, this rainy band shifts from Occitania to the eastern borders.
Rainfall degradations
A disturbance will indeed cross the Occitanie region this Saturday, April 22. The rainy passage is expected in the second part of the day. The whole region will be swept away by a rain front. The departments of Haute-Garonne, Ariège, Tarn, Aveyron, Aude, Pyrénées-Orientales, Gard and Lozère will be concerned.
