Weather
Today the mild weather is set to continue. However, a veil of cloud can be expected across our sky, with cloud cover thickening up, potentially blocking out the sun in the afternoon.
The wind is calm up high this morning, averaging 5-10 km/hr at Pisaillas. The warming trend continues locally, with tropical temperatures this morning. At 9 a.m. it is -1°C in the village, and +5°C at the top of Solaise and +1.5°C at Pisaillas. Today we can expect a top of 6°C at 2000m.
Roads
After a generally calm day for traffic yesterday, new blockages are to be feared this week on the roads, particularly in Savoie. Yesterday, the president of the FNSEA announced a “total” mobilisation of protests for the coming week. No precise information is available currently.
