Will the city of Rennes be adorned with a beautiful white coat this week? In any case, this is what the latest weather forecasts suggest.
A disturbance from the west will affect Brittany this Thursday, November 21. “North of the depression, the cold air will resist and the precipitation will be in the form of snow all the way to the plain,” indicates Météo France. “Snowy precipitation, at low altitude or in the plains, will affect a central band from west to east, but the spread of the snow risk is still to be clarified.”
Due to an air mass conflict present in the region, the snow risk remains geographically complicated to determine. It must be said that with a few degrees of difference, the flakes can quickly turn into rain.
A rare episode for the month of November
According to Temps Breton, if “uncertainties remain at this stage on the geographical extent of snowfall and their hold on the ground”, the scenario of snow precipitation in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine is nevertheless increasingly more “probable”. Such snowfalls from November would be particularly exceptional.
In Rennes, you have to go back to February 2021 to find traces of real snow precipitation. Up to 5 cm of snow was recorded on the morning of February 10 in certain neighborhoods after an episode of rare intensity.
