Thursday March 23, the ninth day of national mobilization against the pension reform, Météo France places 26 departments on yellow vigilance for wind-related risks. Indeed, since the beginning of the week, bad weather has multiplied over the majority of the territory. This situation will continue until the weekend of March 25. Indeed, La Chaîne Météo announces heavy rains and gales sweeping the north of France.
Conversely, the south will experience mild weather this Thursday. Cyrille Duchesne, meteorologist for La Chaîne Météo, announces that “France is experiencing a peak of great mildness under the influence of a south to southwest flow carrying subtropical air”. The expert adds that we should expect “a day in the top 2 of the mildest March 23, with generalized mildness in the morning (10°C or more at daybreak over 3/4 of France) and temperatures of a month of May in the afternoon (19-20°C in Clermont-Ferrand and up to 24°C in Biarritz)”. This mildness will nevertheless be accompanied by bad weather in part of the country. Consult our slideshow below to discover the departments concerned.
Since Wednesday evening March 22, rain and wind have started to hit the northwest of the territory. If a morning mildness took place this Thursday morning, “the rainy and windy degradation on the northwest is stronger”, specifies Cyrille Duchesne. Several regions will be affected by this climate change. Indeed, he adds that “the weather deteriorates more frankly during the afternoon with the arrival of rains sustained by Brittany and a clear strengthening of the wind with gusts of 70 km / h inland and 90 km/h on the coasts”.
This will also be the case in the Centre-Val de Loire to Hauts-de-France via the Paris region. The southwest wind will blow up to 50 km / h in gusts “inland”.
