Strong gusts of wind in addition to snow: Luxembourg on yellow alert this Tuesday

It’s no longer really a scoop: the cold is coming. At least for a few days. If temperatures will again flirt with 10 degrees this Monday in Luxembourg, they will drop sharply in the middle of the week, since they should be barely positive when you wake up on Wednesday morning in the south of the country and negative in the north, according to the bulletin published this Monday, November 18 by MeteoLux. Obviously making the roads more slippery. A situation which should last at least until Saturday.

But what we especially remember from this bulletin is the announcement of a yellow alert launched throughout Luxembourg for this Tuesday, November 19. Not because of the cold (we should again reach 5 degrees at night and flirt with 10 degrees during the day) or the first snowflakes having been announced in the north of the country at the end of last week. No, it’s the wind that will mainly cause problems. According to forecasts, gusts ranging from 70 to 80 km/h, or even locally 85 km/h, are therefore potentially expected between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Snow Wednesday and Friday

Note that Météo France announces the same type of conditions in the Metz region, while in Belgium, if we are to believe the models of certain meteorologists, the wind could blow up to 100 km/h.

The same Belgian meteorologists also announce “5 to 10 cm of snow” from an altitude of 500 m for this Wednesday, November 20. And slush below. On the MeteoLux side, we are content for the moment to mention a mixture of rain and snow throughout the country for the same day. Snow is, however, also forecast for Friday morning.
