A new rainy episode will cross a large part of France on Monday October 21, due to the passage of Storm Ashley, indicates Météo-France.
The days follow one another and are similar. While many departments in France were placed on red and orange alert for storms, rain-floods and floods last week, Météo-France indicates, Monday October 21, that precipitation will accumulate in the northern half, in connection with the passage of storm Ashley. “The associated disturbance, powered by a powerful jet stream and an atmospheric river from the Tropics, ripples over the neighboring regions of the English Channel, from Brittany to Hauts-de-France for 24 hours, from Sunday evening to Monday evening“, explains The Weather Channel.
Between 30 and 40 millimeters of rain are expected during the day between Brittany and Normandy, while this rainy episode began on Sunday evening. Faced with these weather conditions, several departments in the northwest and north have been placed on yellow alert for rain-flooding and some also for a risk of flooding. With soil saturation, certain watercourses could overflow their beds. “Rainy weather will reach the Pays de la Loire over the hours“, also indicates Météo-France in its latest bulletin.
Strong gusts of wind expected on the Breton and Normandy coasts
If the heart of the storm will remain a good distance from the French regions, the rain and showers will extend throughout Monday, October 21. This rainy spell will be accompanied by wind gusts that can exceed 70 km/h on the Breton and Normandy coasts, and often more than 60 km/h inland. On the southern half, “the day is pleasantly sunny once the morning gray and fog has dissipated“, underlines Météo-France. A few showers are falling over Corsica.
