A peak of cold before the warmth. Here is the weather program for this Sunday in Côte-d’Or. And the forecast which made this weekend “the coldest of winter” was not wrong.
Record of the year in several cities including Dijon
At 5 a.m., the mercury dropped to -12.7 ° C in Châtillon-sur-Seine. If it is again in this city that it was coldest during the night, the minimums have fallen very low everywhere. In Dijon, too, the winter record fell. Forgotten the -7.7 ° C readings on Saturday morning, it was already -8.1 ° C at 5 o’clock this Sunday!
In Arnay-le-Duc (-10.2 ° C) or even Montbard (-10.4 ° C), the bar of -10 ° C has also been crossed. Elsewhere, the mercury was around -8 to -9 ° C as in Beaune (-8.4 ° C), Saulieu (-9.5 ° C) or Til-Châtel (-8.2 ° C).
Even colder at daybreak?
Will these values be the coldest recorded today? Not everywhere ! If in most towns the temperature curve began to rise from 6 a.m., it was only temporary in Dijon. At 7 am, it was -8.5 ° C in the city of the dukes! Conversely, in Montbard, the mercury gained 2.5 ° C in two hours. At 7 o’clock, it was “no more” than -7.9 ° C in the city of Buffon.
Redoux from this afternoon
This afternoon, under a clear and sunny sky, the highs should finally exceed the 0 ° C mark almost everywhere in the department. A warm spell which is explained by the passage of a north wind to a southerly wind during the day. A situation that will be confirmed at the beginning of the week.
If light frosts are still to be expected on Monday morning, it will be up to 7 ° C in the afternoon of Monday.
