why does North Deux-Sèvres no longer see the sun?

The sunny break was short-lived, Tuesday November 5, 2024. A few rays of sunshine managed to warm up the north of the Deux-Sèvres department. But the thick fog, omnipresent since the end of October 2024, returned this Wednesday morning, November 6, market day in Parthenay.

Between the stalls, this gloomy weather forecast was on the lips of many customers. The inhabitants of Gâtine, like those of Bocage Bressuirais, are deprived of sun. In Parthenay, the fog has enveloped the bell tower of the Saint-Laurent church for around ten days.

On the road in the evening, it's impossible to see more than a hundred meters. Fog makes driving conditions more difficult.

“The sun doesn’t have enough energy”

With this persistent and thick fog, remember to light up and wear a yellow vest to avoid any accidents. In five minutes, I followed two unlit cyclists. I saw them at the last minute. Same for cars, remember to turn on your lights published a resident on Parthenay social networks.

Others do not hide their drop in morale. I'm fed up with the fog in Parthenay. In Niort, there is sunshine .

The temperatures in North Deux-Sèvres are in fact too low to warm the air and therefore chase away the water droplets that make up the fog. The sun doesn't have enough energy to dry the air explained Météo France in January 2022 during a previous episode of fog. The water droplets remain at low height due to the absence of wind.

The fog is expected to persist in Gâtine this Thursday, November 7, 2024. The sun should return this weekend, according to Météo France.
