Already significant gusts have been blowing since Sunday afternoon in the Loire. Yesterday, MétéoNews reported winds blowing at more than 82 km/h in Châtelneuf in Forez and in Bard the wind reached 93 km/h.
But the gusts continued during the night and this Monday morning. The record goes to Chalmazel where winds of 118 km/h were recorded. In Roanne, the gusts blow around 85 km/h, in Saint-Étienne, we flirted with 110 km/h (109.8). In Saint-Chamond/L'Horme, a maximum of 114.8 km/h is recorded.
After a restless night announced by the MétéoNews meteorologist, the wind continues to blow strongly in several sectors of the department, even if a calm is announced for this afternoon.
“We will be able to reach 100 km/h in a whirlwind. The wind should become less violent this Monday, November 25, in the afternoon with the arrival of the rain.” The lifting of the orange alert is also scheduled for 6 p.m.
Power outages
