You will no doubt have noticed that it has been chilly these last few days at night and when you wake up in the morning in Guadeloupe.
A cold front has, in fact, been crossing the West Indies for several days and has caused temperatures to drop significantly, as noted Emile Abauzit, forecaster at Météo France.
During the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, we recorded 16 degrees near Sainte-Rose and Basse-Terre. And on the Saint-Claude side (the Cistern), there were 14 degrees.
Cold air descents from Canada
For Emile Abauzitthese are normal temperatures for the end of December and the month of January.
These are cool temperatures due to descents of cold air from Canada behind the disturbances. These cool temperatures are usual, but it's true that it's been 20 years since we've had temperatures this cool.
According to the Météo France forecaster, we should expect a new descent of cold air next week, often associated with a north swell.
Emile Abauzit specifies that the minimum temperature record in Guadeloupe was established in February 1952 with 13 degrees in Raizet.
