Brittany plunged into fog, a city without sun for a week!

In Saint-Malo (Ille-et-Vilaine), we believed in it for a few moments this Tuesday noon. The clouds gently parted to reveal a small fragment of blue sky above the sea.

Just enough time to get the sunglasses out of the glove box and then falter. The sky grew cloudy and the fog returned. Gray. Thick. Just like what we have been experiencing for a week.

The sun shines by its absence

Such is life in Brittany in the fall of 2024. “The sun shines through its absence over a large part of the region”, as the Météo Bretagne site rightly wrote this Tuesday, November 5.

Extremely rare in Nantes

At the very top of the pyramid of unlucky people deprived of our favorite star, the city of Nantes where Météo Bretagne did not see a single minute of sunshine for seven days! “Which is extremely rare,” continues Breton meteorologist Sébastien Decaux.

A misery in Dinard

With zero minutes of sunshine from Tuesday October 29 to Monday November 4, 2024, the Nantes area is ahead of the Dinard station, near Saint-Malo, which cannot really bring it back with only 42 short minutes of sunshine in seven days. A misery!

Quimper, Lorient and Vannes are doing a little better

Next, according to Météo Bretagne's “winner list”, are Saint-Brieuc (3.4 hours), Rennes (6.1 hours), Brest (6.8 hours), Vannes (15.7 hours), Quimper (17. 3 hours) and Lorient (21.3 hours).

“Cities like Quimper, Lorient or Vannes are doing a little better due to a more sensitive wind which has caused a little more air mixing,” explains Sébastien Decaux.

Fixed situation

And it is not tomorrow, Wednesday, that the situation will improve: “The situation is frozen. The forecasts remain generally similar to previous days,” explains the Météo Bretagne website. “Anticyclonic conditions cause low clouds, mist and fog in the morning. Northern Finistère could benefit from clearings. Gray dominates in the afternoon over almost the entire region. Only Finistère is doing well with hopes of clearing up. »

In short, you can leave your sunglasses in the glove box.
