Light winds with occasional snow showers in the higher areas looks typical across the French Alps this week. Temperatures are to be below zero in France, but likely to be higher in Austria, though their resorts may see a little more snow. Thursday and Friday should be clear and sunny all day (and night). Chamonix is set to see the best of the snow fall, with the top slopes expecting up to 5cm between Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. There could also be further falls of snow next weekend.

After nearly nine days at sea our 40’ Arcona has made it to the Azores. Crewed by James and Peter Hardiman, she is competing in the Azores and Back race, known as the Azab. This race covers nearly 2,500 miles from Falmouth, into the Atlantic, to the Azores and then back again.
