Weather Forecast for November 19: Heavy Rain and Strong Winds Expected
As France braces for a significant weather disturbance on Tuesday, November 19, residents are advised to prepare for heavy rain and strong winds across much of the country. According to La Chaîne Météo, the northeastern regions are currently experiencing intense rainfall, which is expected to spread towards central areas by evening. The Atlantic coast and northeastern parts of France are particularly affected by strong winds, with gusts reaching up to 90 km/h in some areas.
Rainfall Accumulation and Temperature Trends
The forecast indicates that the northern two-thirds of France will see substantial rainfall, with localized flood risks in departments such as Somme and Seine-Maritime. Rainfall totals could reach as high as 43 mm in regions like Jura and Savoie. In contrast, the southern regions, including the Pyrenees and Mediterranean areas, will enjoy milder and sunnier conditions for most of the day, although rain is expected to arrive in the evening.
Temperatures will vary across the country, with minimums ranging from 5 to 13°C and maximums between 9 to 18°C, depending on the region. However, a notable drop in temperature is anticipated as the week progresses, particularly in the northeastern regions, where conditions may feel more like January.
Caution Advised for Evening and Following Days
As the day progresses into the evening, weather conditions are expected to deteriorate further, with increased showers and wind from Gironde to Grand Est. Residents are cautioned about the potential for frost and black ice on secondary roads by Wednesday morning. Looking ahead, another disturbance is forecasted for Thursday, which may bring snow at low altitudes, particularly affecting the Limousin and Massif Central regions.
Overall, the upcoming days will require vigilance as France navigates through this challenging weather pattern.
