In Rennes, Saint-Malo or Dinard, we have not seen the sun since Wednesday October 30, according to Météo Bretagne. Ille-et-Vilaine, but also the east of Côtes d’Armor and part of Morbihan remain in gray, even fog all day long in the countryside. “An anticyclone set in on October 26 which keeps the humidity on the ground because there has been a lot of precipitation in recent months.“, explains Stéven Tual, meteorologist at Temps Breton, “it condenses and these high pressures compress the air in the first layers of the atmosphere. Every day, we find ourselves with mists, fogs, there is no wind to allow clearings to develop“.
The people of Rennes are not in good spirits
In Rennes, the atmosphere is gloomy on the Colombier slab. After the lunch break, Nicolas returns to the office. He will not have seen the sun yet: “It’s surprising and there is quite little light so it’s true that it’s not good for morale and especially for the desire to get up in the morning to go to work“For Sara, it’s clear.”It affects morale, we need sunshine especially since we haven’t had a very sunny summer. We feel that our body needs vitamins and we are tired“. Fabienne, who runs a clothing store in the city center, notes that the gloomy weather does not attract the barge : “There is less traffic and we see that people don’t want to go out so we try to keep a smile on our faces for the customers“.
The Finistère exception
If the sky is leaden over part of Brittany, Finistère and Trégor in particular benefit from the sun and pleasant temperatures. For example, Wednesday November 6, it was 10° in Rennes, 20.5° in Sizun and 19.5° in Brest. On Thursday, the scenario is almost identical with slightly lower maximum temperatures in Finistère. “When you have these low clouds pressed to the ground, the late night temperatures accompany us throughout the day with very little amplitude, so if we have 10 degrees in the morning, we have ten degrees at 12 p.m. and ongoing afternoon“, analyse Stéven Tual, “above this cloud layer, we have an air mass which is extremely mild currently, almost record-breaking even in certain places, and a small relief like the Monts d’Arrée, in Finistère, can be enough to have quite an impact. important, particularly in the north of Brittany, in Trégor, Léon where we have much more sun because we have small slope breezes which arise at midday“.
Patience
This situation should last until Tuesday November 12, “from Tuesday, we will have more wind and more sun, especially in the southern part of Brittany“. Justine, another Rennaise, is sure to have sunshine whatever happens: “I’m going on vacation at the end of the year and we’re going to Tenerife. We’ll sunbathe before going back to work”.
