The department of Seine Maritime was placed underneath yellow alert and Weather France starting from hours 19:00 on Saturday December 21sta measure that will extend for the entire day of Sunday. This weekend, the wind will be the main protagonist in a meteorological phase dominated by the circulation of a depression on the North Sea.
Violent gusts along the Channel coasts
The bulletin released highlights how the arriving atmospheric disturbance will bring with it very intense winds. According to forecasts, gusts of wind will reach particular intensity along the coasts of Sleevewhere the meteorological configuration will favor the worsening of the phenomenon. The violent gustswhich will intensify especially during showers, will mainly affect the area north-western of the territory.
The day of Sunday will be characterized by a clear reinforcement of the ventofueled by the movement of the depression that will develop in the region of North Sea. This configuration is destined to generate unstable weather conditions, with episodes of rain and possibility of accentuated atmospheric phenomena.
Climate details and risk areas
The Seine Maritimelocated along the northern coast of Franceoften finds itself exposed to intense weather conditions when ocean currents combine with northern depressions. The strong vento forecast for this weekend represents a classic example of such atmospheric dynamics, with gusts that could exceed 80-100 km/h along the coastal areas and in the most exposed points.
The authorities recommend caution, especially near the coastal areaswhere the risk of material damage or dangers related to road transport is higher. Maritime activity will also be negatively affected, with the rough sea and waves of considerable height expected for the next few hours.
Influence of the depression system
The phenomenon described is directly connected to the presence of a atmospheric depression that moves over the North Sea. This cyclonic structure, typical of the winter season in northern Europe, generates a strong pressure difference between air masses, causing the acceleration of the winds.
In the next few hours, the meteorological situation could prove further dynamic, with the possibility of an intensification of the venti during the night and in the early morning hours of Sunday.
