Maine-et-Loire has been shivering since January 12. This persistent cold and dry calm weather particularly delights the residents of the department's waterways who are relieved to see the floods stop, as do the winegrowers for whom the cold is good for the land and effective against invading pests. On the other hand, with this weather, the air quality is deteriorating. These weather conditions are in fact the perfect cocktail for developing fine particle pollution.
The freezing temperatures, 4 to 8°C below seasonal norms but which remain far from the cold records recorded in Maine-et-Loire, will persist throughout the weekend of January 18 and 19 and at the start of week. The minimums should oscillate between 0°C and -2°C in Maine-et-Loire until Tuesday morning January 21 inclusive.
Clear rise in temperatures Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon, the arrival of a rainy deterioration could cause temperatures to rise for several days. In the morning, the thermometer should display between 3 and 5°C according to Météo France and even between 5 and 9°C according to La Chaîne Météo based on the forecasts announced this Saturday, January 18.
