Attention Strasbourg residents wondering if the sun has forgotten you: you have every right to complain. In November 2024, Strasbourg enjoyed only 36 tiny hours of sunshine, according to data from Météo France in Entzheim. Yes, 36 hours, which is less than a long weekend and barely enough to recharge your batteries. A real test for the spirits… and for lovers of bright photos.
A Record Month of Gloom in Strasbourg
This November has surely pushed our patience to the limit. During the first half of the month, gloom prevailed at 83% above normal (let's just say the sun made a strategic retreat). And even counting those fleeting glimpses of sunshine at the end of the month, overall sunlight is still down by 34% compared to the usual averages calculated for the period from 1991 to 2020.
So, what’s the outcome? We had a better chance of spotting clouds than rays of sunshine. Sunglasses? Stored away in the closet. Vitamin D? Just a sweet memory. Thankfully, it’s not all doom and gloom. Despite the ambiance…
In the heavenly vault, the temperatures have remained mild, with an average increase of 0.5 degrees. Bonus: just one day of frost recorded and a drop in precipitation. In short, it’s been pleasantly warm… but a bit depressing.See this post on Instagram
With December just arrived, we’re crossing our fingers for brighter weather. Strasbourg shines bright thanks to its magical Christmas market, but a bit of sunshine would surely lift everyone's spirits. Come on, let’s believe: maybe December has a weather miracle in store for us? If not, see you in...2025… under a beach umbrella (we can dream...).
