Strong winds: Maine-et-Loire and Deux-Sèvres on alert from tomorrow Sunday.

Very violent gusts of wind will sweep the sides of the English Channel on the sidelines of storm Enol. Between this Eno depression located to the west of Norway and a powerful anticyclone located in the North Atlantic, strong gusts will affect the coastal departments of the Channel.

Three departments (Côtes-d'Armor, Ille-et-Vilaine and Manche) have been placed on orange alert by Météo France from tomorrow, Sunday December 22. Violent gusts of up to 130 km/h are expected.

In turn, Maine-et-Loire and Deux-Sèvres should be affected by these violent winds. They have been put on alert, under yellow vigilance by Météo France from tomorrow morning. In Angers, gusts of 65 km/h could be felt in the morning before reaching 85 km/h in the afternoon.

65 km/h is also the wind speed predicted by Météo France in Niort, Deux-Sèvres prefecture. In this department, the winds should also gain strength until the afternoon but should not exceed 75 km/h.

Caution

The Weather Channel also recommends extreme caution on Sunday because the wind is blowing violently at more than 100 km/h along the Channel.

It will move south and therefore pass through Maine-et-Loire and Deux-Sèvres. The Weather Channel indicates that the wind strengthens and reaches 100 km/h in the south of the Massif Central, the Alps and the Pyrenees in the afternoon where the rain/snow limit drops to around 1,000 meters .
