Résumé anglais This article analyses the various meteorological regimes which have influenced the region of Rhône-Alpes during the period 1970-89, and their effect on the weather and especially the rainfall. In terms of the annual average, disturbed systems affected the area for a total of 206.3 days (56.3 °/o of the time), anticyclonic systems for 126.3 days (34.7 %) and periods characterised by a flat low pressure field for 32.7 days (9 %). In the northern Alps and the Jura, westerly and north-westerly weather types give most rainfall, whereas in the south, and particularly the south-east of the Massif Central, it is those originating from the south-west and south. In Lyon rainfall coming from the south-west alone represents 38 % of the total.
