A disturbance from the west will affect Brittany this Thursday, November 21. “North of the depression, the cold air will resist and the precipitation will be in the form of snow all the way to the plain,” indicates Météo France. “Snowy precipitation, at low altitude or in the plains, will affect a central band from west to east, but the spread of the snow risk is still to be clarified.”
Due to an air mass conflict present in the region, the snow risk remains geographically complicated to determine. It must be said that with a few degrees of difference, the flakes can quickly turn into rain.

A rare episode for the month of November
According to Temps Breton, if “uncertainties remain at this stage on the geographical extent of snowfall and their hold on the ground”, the scenario of snow precipitation in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine is nevertheless increasingly more “probable”. Such snowfalls from November would be particularly exceptional.
In Rennes, you have to go back to February 2021 to find traces of real snow precipitation. Up to 5 cm of snow was recorded on the morning of February 10 in certain neighborhoods after an episode of rare intensity.

Editor: Thank you for joining us today on World Today News. We have two esteemed guests with us today: Mr. Jean-Pierre Martin, a local weather expert from Rennes, and Ms. Emma Williams, a resident of Rennes. Today we will be discussing the possibility of snow falling in Rennes this week and its implications.
Guests, can you please introduce yourselves and share your thoughts on the latest weather forecast for Rennes?
Jean-Pierre: Good morning, I am Jean-Pierre Martin, a local weather expert from Rennes. The latest forecast from Météo France indicates that there might be snowfall in Rennes this Thursday, which is quite unusual for this time of the year. The region would usually experience rain, so this could be an exciting change for us.
Emma: Hello, I’m Emma Williams, a resident of Rennes. I’ve never experienced snowfall in Rennes before, so I’m quite excited about it. Even though it’s rare for November, I think it would be great to see snow falling from the sky during winter.
Editor: It’s an interesting twist that the weather experts are predicting snowfall during this time of the year. How rare is it for Brittany to experience snow this early in the winter season?
Jean-Pierre: According to historical data, it’s quite rare for Brittany to experience snowfall in November. The last time there was any significant snowfall in the region was in February 2021 when up to 5 cm of snow was recorded in certain neighborhoods. However, with climate change, we can’t rule anything out at this point.
Emma: As a resident, I can attest to how rare it is for Rennes to experience snowfall this early in the season. We usually only get significant snowfalls around Christmas time. The last time I remember seeing snow was about seven years ago, and that was only a light dusting that didn’t even stay on the ground for long.
Editor: That’s an interesting perspective, Emma. Snowfall in November brings back memories of childhood for many people, but for you, it’s quite unusual. Can you share with us how you feel about the possibility of snowfall this week?
Emma: Well, I think it would be a beautiful sight to see the
