Overview

  • Météo France issued an orange vigilance alert for Corsica from 9 a.m. to noon due to an approaching line of convective storms.
  • A broad yellow alert now covers departments from western Brittany and Normandy to the Côte d’Azur, including Île-de-France, Jura and parts of Alsace.
  • Storms may produce wind gusts over 100 km/h, sizeable hail and localized flooding, particularly along Mediterranean coasts and in mountain zones.
  • Evening thunderstorm activity is forecast to move through the Pyrenees, Massif Central, Alps and Jura, with further yellow warnings extending to northern regions on July 14.
  • These developments follow a season marked by alternating heatwaves above 30 °C and severe convective storms fueled by clashing Mediterranean and Atlantic air masses.
