This Thursday, Anjou woke up to a very low and heavy sky. Many snowflakes fell in the morning, covering the landscape and the roads with a white veil, making traffic particularly dangerous (read our article again). “The CAETANO depression crosses central France from west to east and generates a major air mass conflict. North of this depression, snowfall until the evening of Thursday, from the northeast of Brittany to Center-Val-de-Loire, via Normandy. On the southern part of the depression, the west-northwest wind becomes stormy between the Breton tip to the south of Pays de la Loire and to the south of Indre. indicates Météo France. The forecaster has placed Maine-et-Loire, as well as Vienne and Deux-Sèvres, on Orange alert due to strong winds which will blow across the territory, particularly in the afternoon. “In connection with the passage of CAETANO, the westerly wind sets in at the very beginning of Thursday on the Atlantic coast, then progresses inland by Thursday afternoon. We expect frequent gusts of up to 110 to 120 km/h in the orange departments. The wind weakens more clearly for the evening of Thursday and the episode ends,” continues Météo France.
