Heavy rain, hail and strong gusts of wind are expected to sweep Burgundy Franche-Comté, Champagne-Ardenne, the entire Paris region and then Hauts-de-France this Wednesday, May 1 in the evening.
Protesters in defense of workers’ rights will not be able to play overtime this year. Violent oranges will break out this Wednesday, May 1 at the end of the afternoon, which has led Météo-France to place 14 departments on orange vigilance, from 6 p.m.: Aisne, Yonne, Somme, ‘Aube, Marne, Oise, as well as all the departments of Ile-de-France (Paris, Seine-et-Marne, Yvelines, Essonne, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine -Saint-Denis, Val-de-Marne and Val-d’Oise).
“A stormy wave, organized and intense, will sweep the regions from northern Burgundy to Hauts-de-France between the end of the afternoon and the second part of the night from Wednesday to Thursday. In the departments placed on orange alert, storms are expected to be virulent with high intensities of precipitation, hail, squalls. predict Météo-France forecasters.
In addition, 28 departments are placed on yellow vigilance in a large swath of the north and east of the country. But until the first lightning streaks the sky, “it cannot be ruled out that certain departments will see a worsening of their level of vigilance”warns the meteorological organization. “It is important to keep informed of the situation.” This could particularly concern Normandy, where “the accumulations of precipitation will be significant from time to time”.
These violent bad weather conditions can be explained by “a depression which is widening in the north of France” throughout the day, due to “very contrasting air masses between the south-west of the country where it will snow at 1,100 meters above sea level, and the North-East where the air mass will be summer. So at the same time, it should be less than 10°C in Aquitaine and 27°C in Alsace. underlines on its Météo-France website.
For the future, large parts of France should continue to be watered for several more rainy days, although less electric. The forecasters of the French meteorological institution do not foresee “no lasting improvement in weather until at least next week.”
