Same in Melun, in Seine-et-Marne, where the town only experienced 9h32 of sunshine in 13 days, i.e. a drop of 86% compared to the normal from 1991 to 2020.
The rest of France under the gray
Outside of Île-de-France, the figures are not more encouraging. On November 5, the metropolis of Nantes recorded no only 1h17 of sunshine over the last 10 days. A phenomenon accentuated by thick fog, which completely prevented the planes of the Nantes-Atlantique flying club from taking off for nine days in a row.
