A storm is arriving on the British Isles on Friday, it will also impact France.
In the middle of the week, the cold gives way to mildness. Temperatures are gradually rising. The mild weather will also rhyme with the return of rain, particularly in the north-west quarter. This Friday, January 24, a storm, linked to the cold snap in the United States, will hit the British Isles. Named Éowyn, it will cause strong winds in Ireland, reaching 170 km/h on the coast.
During the formation of Éowyn in the Atlantic Ocean, a “weather bomb” is expected to occur. This phenomenon corresponds to a strong drop in pressure at the center of the storm, “greater than 24hPa in 24 hours”, specifies The Weather Channel.
This storm will also have repercussions on France, with gusts locally reaching up to 100 km/h. “Gusts could reach 80 to 90 km/h on the coasts and locally 100 km/h”, explains Christelle Robert, forecaster at Météo-France, to BFMTV.
-The Channel coasts will be particularly affected, from Brittany to Hauts-de-France. Inland, gusts of 80 km/h are forecast from Brittany to Nord-Pas-de-Calais. This storm will be accompanied by rain, particularly in Brittany, with up to 30mm in places in the south of the department. The gale will be felt, but to a lesser extent, in Ile-de-France as well as in the Center. The weather will be drier and sunny in the South.
“During the day on Friday, the depression will sink a little further south of the northern half then reach the northeast at the end of the day,” adds Christelle Robert. However, this should not be a dangerous phenomenon; this gale is rather classic for the season, according to The Weather Channel.
France will be affected by this phenomenon for 24 hours. However, the low pressure flow will continue over the weekend and until the beginning of next week. The Weather Channel indicates that the northwest will again be threatened by gales, particularly next Monday and Tuesday. These forecasts will need to be clarified. The month of January will, in any case, end gently but with wind and rain.
