CIt's been a while since we last saw blue skies in the Nord and Pas-de-Calais. To be precise, according to records from the three Météo France stations in the region, Calais has not had any hours of sunshine since the beginning of November. Le Touquet had three hours of sunshine and Valenciennes, six, all concentrated on one day, November 4.
For what ?
« We are in a situation of anticyclonic blocking », Explains Thomas Courmont, consulting meteorologist, based in Boulogne-sur-Mer to our colleagues at La Voix du Nord. Concretely, this gives “ fog and mist in the morning, then cloudy weather all day ».
« The cold air is at low level, rather heavy. It's as if we've put a lid on the area, there's no wind, nothing moves, the humid air doesn't move, all the particles stay where they are “. According to the meteorologist, we still have a few more days.
