yellow alert, heavy rain and thunderstorms, in the West from noon to 8 p.m.

A yellow alert, heavy rain and thunderstorms, begins at noon and should be lifted at 8 p.m. this Friday, January 3, 2025.

These bad weather will affect the West of the island. The yellow alert invites you to be attentive to the weather conditions in the towns of the leeward coast, from midday to early night. The intensity of the precipitation and its locations will not affect all sectors of the municipalities concerned in the same way. Caution ! Limit your travel in case of intense rain and thunderstorms.

This Friday morning is, like the previous ones, bright despite numerous cloudy periods in the interior and along the East coast. This radiant weather disappears behind the clouds before midday. Once again, the now traditional cover is installed on the interior and along the western and southern slopes.

Unsurprisingly, “gray weather punctuated by showers on the terrain in the afternoon, with particular attention to the North-West quarter where these could be quite virulent, even going down to the seaside, particularly on the side of the cornice road”specifies Météo-France La Réunion.

The weather over the weekend will be roughly the same. It remains to be seen

The east to southeast flow accelerates slightly to become moderate. Gusts of 55 to 65 km/h circulate from Saint-Philippe to Étang-Salé-les-Bains. A regime of breezes reigns in the North-West and the interior.

Temperatures are still rising. The thermometer should reach 34°C in Saint-Pierre, 32 at the edge of the Saline-les-Bains lagoon, 26 to 27 in the cirques, 18 at Pas de Bellecombe-Jacob and 17°C at Maïdo.

The sea is generally not very rough.
