Snow is coming to Paris and Île-de-France this Thursday November 21, 2024with a vigilance orange activated by Météo-France. Snowflakes, expected from the morning, are expected to persist until the evening, making travel difficult, particularly on secondary roads.
This Thursday, the Paris region is experiencing a early snow episode which places Ile-de-France residents on alert. From 6 a.m., the orange snow-ice alert is in effect, with snowfall expected between 9h and 10h on Paris and its periphery. Up to 3 cm of snow could cover Paris and the inner suburbswhile the south of the region, notably the Yvelines et Essonnecould accumulate up to 7 cm. Patrick Marlière, meteorologist and director of Medias-Weather, emphasizes that this winter episode requires extreme caution, particularly on secondary roads where the risk of accidents is increased.
The phenomenon, which begins in Normandy and Brittany, progresses eastward throughout the day. The alert should last until midnight, and Météo-France is even considering an extension to other neighboring departments. In Paris, the Ice Snow Plan in Île-de-France is already at enhanced monitoring level. Thus, from 11 a.m., motorists will have to respect a speed reduction of 20 km/h, while heavy vehicles will be prohibited from overtaking on the main roads.
For Ile-de-France residents, a few simple actions are recommended: clear and salt the sidewalksavoid any contact with electrical wires fallen on the ground and heat your home while respecting safety instructions. Travel should be limited to what is strictly necessary. If you go out, it is advisable to use public transport and to take warm clothes, water and provisions to avoid possible delays or blockages on the road.
Road infrastructure such as the RN118, which is particularly vulnerable, will be subject to increased surveillance. Partial closures may be applied if conditions deteriorate. The RATP ensures, for its part, that its network remains operational, although it has procedures to limit the impacts of ice and snow.
Finally, Ile-de-France residents must expect a phenomenon of refreeze next nightmaking the roads even more slippery. In Île-de-Francethis winter episode is a reminder of the necessary caution in the face of capricious weather. If you absolutely have to travel, equip yourself well and pay attention to the instructions of the authorities.
