As expected, storm Eleanor produced strong gusts of wind, with up to 111 km/h measured in Orléans-Bricy in particular, a record.
After storm Carmen which left France on Tuesday morning after particularly sweeping the Indre, it is Eleanor’s turn to hit half of France since Tuesday evening. This depression, the fourth to affect the country since December 11, is expected to last until the end of the day Wednesday. But we can already say that the wind has been blowing well in our territories. Meteo France and the association Weather Center observed gusts of between 80 and 100 km/h in our regions with locally more than 100 km/h, particularly in the north of the Loire, where we recorded up to 111 km/h in Orléans-Bricy (Loiret). This is a monthly record for this city. Indeed, the old record dated January 26, 1995, with 108 km/h.
