Severe Winds and Heavy Rain to Disrupt Southern France, Calm Weather in the North

Météo France places three southern departments under orange alert as Tempête Jana brings violent gusts, heavy rainfall, and potential flooding this weekend.

The Tarn, Haute-Garonne, and Hérault are under orange wind alerts, with gusts expected to exceed 100 km/h and possibly reach 120-140 km/h in certain areas.
Heavy rainfall is forecast in the Languedoc region, with accumulations potentially exceeding 150 mm, raising concerns of localized flooding.
The northern half of France will experience milder weather, with dry skies and occasional sunshine, though some regions may see light scattered showers.
Snowfall is anticipated in higher altitudes, with the Pyrénées and the Alps expecting snow at elevations starting from 1,500 to 2,000 meters.
The stormy conditions, driven by the Tempête Jana system, are expected to weaken gradually by Sunday afternoon, with calmer weather returning to affected areas.
