On the sidelines of the passing of the violent Eowyn storm on the British Islands this Friday, the wind is strengthening and blowing in a conventional wind of wind for the season in northwest of . Waves of 6 to 7 m arrive on the Breton ribs but the tidal coefficients, very low (31) will avoid coastal submersions.
The winds will blow between 100 and 110 km/h on the most exposed caps, and generally 70 to 80 km/h in the land.

On the other hand, the parade of disturbances in the coming days will cause many rainy passages marked in many regions, which can cause reactions of rivers with a new risk of overflows. This special press release considers all these, scalable parameters.

Evolution

Northwestern France is not affected by the violent storm that crosses Ireland and the United Kingdom. However, the conditions that promise to be very violent on the British islands, maritime and air traffic may undergo disruption (cancellations, delays), requiring all the information necessary for your trips,
In France, by the passage of the disturbance, the winds will strengthen very classically for this time of the year, not presenting dangerous.

The strongest gusts occur at the very start of the day and can reach 100 to 110 km/h on exposed caps. In land, these gusts will generally be between 70 and 80 km/h, more sustained along the coast with 90-100 km/h. Strong winds quickly weaken midday on while they reach Hauts-de-France, to blow especially between noon and 3 p.m. The lull will be fast and general at 4 p.m.

At the same time, the parade of disturbances continues, and new generous rains fall on the northwest quarter of our country. These rains are relatively abundant in 24 hours, but not exceptional. However, they present a new risk of overflows and new floods for the following days, as other disturbances will follow.
In a context where the floors remain saturated, despite these last ten days of dry time, we are fearing new increases in rivers for this weekend and next week.
