Loire – Haute-Loire. Cold: the mercury flirted with -15°C this Sunday morning

Be careful on the roads of the Loire and Haute-Loire this Sunday morning. After the first onslaught of winter observed on Friday, the cold took over this Sunday and the ice could be lying in wait on the secondary road network.

It must be said that the mercury has dropped very low.

The record for the night in Landos: -14.3°C

In both departments, it is the meteorological station located in Charbonnier (in the town of Landos) which holds the prize this Sunday, December 3 with a mercury which fell to -14.3°C at 8 a.m.! However, the station remains very far from its absolute record: -21.6°C on March 1, 2005. On the other hand, it is the coldest temperature recorded this year in the commune, the previous record having been established on Monday January 30 2023 with -11.5°C.

Elsewhere in the Haute-Loire department, many other stations fell below -10°C. We thus note -12.2°C in Bouchet-Saint-Nicolas; -12.1°C at Estables station; -11.8°C in Félines; -11.7°C in Saugues; -11.5°C in Saint-Romain-Lachalm; -11.4°C in Chomelix and Saint-Jeures…
