Météo Ventoux: 15 cm of Snow Expected Tuesday - Brace Yourself for Winter!
The iconic Mont Ventoux, the "Giant of Provence," is set to receive a healthy dose of winter weather this week, with 15 cm of snow predicted to fall on Tuesday. This news will be welcomed by skiers and snowboarders eager to hit the slopes, but drivers and cyclists should be prepared for challenging conditions.
A Winter Wonderland Awaits
The snowfall is expected to begin late Monday night and continue into Tuesday, bringing a blanket of white to the summit of the Ventoux. This weather pattern is typical for the mountain during the winter months, but the predicted snowfall is significant enough to cause disruptions to traffic and outdoor activities.
Preparing for the Snow
Drivers are advised to exercise caution when traveling through the Ventoux region during this time, especially on the mountain roads. Be sure to check the latest weather forecasts and road conditions before heading out. Winter tires and snow chains are highly recommended, and drivers should be aware of potential black ice and reduced visibility.
Cyclists should also be aware of the potential dangers of snow and ice. The Ventoux is a popular cycling destination, but riding in winter conditions can be extremely challenging and even dangerous.

While the snowfall may disrupt everyday life for some, it will be a welcome sight for skiers and snowboarders. The Ventoux, while not a major ski resort, offers opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts to enjoy the slopes.
Keeping an Eye on the Forecasts
