Weather France just placed the Cantal on orange alert for risk of vent from 1:00 p.m. and until 10:00 p.m. Thursday November 21, 2024.

A rain-snow disturbance accompanied by strong gusts of wind will cross the department until the middle of the following night.

According to weather forecasts, the wind could be strong intermittently, on the Cantal mountains as well as on the plains (up to 110 km/h on the Cantal mountains and 100 km/h on the plains). Its intensity will evolve gradually during the day with a peak between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.

Other vigilance

As a reminder, the department is also affected by a vigilance yellow rain-flood from 11:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.: a mild spell at the end of the morning will transform the forecast snow into rain (around 10 to 40 mm in the plains and 50 to 80 mm on the Cantal mountains).

As well as a yellow snow/ice warning between 10:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. on Friday November 22, 2024.

A new episode of cold is expected during the next night and will result in the formation of patches of ice on soggy roads following the day's precipitation.

The prefect also invites users to be extremely vigilant, particularly when traveling.

Possible consequences

Power cuts and phone can affect distribution networks for relatively long periods of time. Roofs and chimneys may be damaged. Tree branches may break. Vehicles can be deported. Road traffic may be disrupted, particularly on the secondary network in forest areas.

Some damage may affect electricity distribution and telephone networks.
