Maine-et-Loire woke up this Monday, January 13 to freezing temperatures and cloudy skies. A look back at the weather forecasts for the day and the days to come with Météo France forecasters.
Cold and foggy morning
At 6 a.m. this morning, the thermometers showed 0 degrees in Angers and -2 degrees in Cholet, with a northeast wind blowing up to 20 km/h. A situation accentuating the feeling of cold. The atmospheric pressure, particularly high at 1040 hPa, reflects stable but freezing weather.
In the Mauges, mists and fogs appeared, slightly disrupting visibility. However, these phenomena gradually dissipate in the morning, giving way to clearer skies.
Sunny but cool afternoon
Despite a dominant sun in the afternoon, temperatures remain well below seasonal norms, oscillating between 2 and 3 degrees. The moderate northeast wind continues to blow, bringing a persistent feeling of cold.
A starry but freezing night
Next night, the sky looks clear and clear across the entire department, offering a beautiful view of the stars. However, temperatures will drop drastically, reaching -5 to -3 degrees in places, particularly in the Mauges. These levels, significantly lower than seasonal averages, require particular vigilance to avoid freezing.
Forecast for Tuesday: stubborn cold
Tuesday January 14, a light veil of clouds could temporarily hide the sun during the day, but clearings will prevail at the end of the afternoon. The following night will remain clear, apart from a few isolated clouds in the Baugeois before dawn.
The North-East wind, still present on the Mauges at the start of the night, will gradually ease. Maximum temperatures will vary between 2 and 4 degrees during the day, while minimums will remain freezing, around -3 to -2 degrees.
A winter week in perspective
With these forecasts, Maine-et-Loire is fully entering a winter period marked by low temperatures and freezing nights. Residents are urged to take precautions in the face of these harsh conditions, in particular to protect pipes and prepare for the risk of freezing.
