Heard this on 5 live yesterday; advance warning for the Alps for
Wednesday, as the cold front interfaces with warm moist Med. air over
the Alps.

Mike McMillan, IOW. where we have finally received 15 mm of rain,
which coincided with setting up camp for the festival!

What would the snow level be I wonder, at this time of year?

I was in the Italian Alps last week where the freezing level was between
3,000 and 3,500M.

It's currently down to 3,000m and I would imagine that amount of
precipitation would dump a lot of snow high up on the 4000m peaks
