Thunderstorms, sometimes violent, are expected in the early evening in New Aquitaine. They will shift towards the Centre-Val de Loire and Burgundy, with “strong rainfall intensities and heavy hail”, warns Météo-France, which predicts gusts of up to 90 km/h, hailstones exceeding 2 cm in diameter and rainfall accumulations of 30 to 50 mm, as in Matha, in Charente-Maritime.
Mini-tornado in the Oise
Even outside these twelve departments, more than half of France, from the southwest to the northeast, faces particularly unstable weather. A mini-tornado even hit the town of Carlepont, in Oise, around 5:30 p.m. “It took over part of the village, particularly two streets, wherever it passed, it created significant damage” , testifies Mayor Patrice Argier, cited by L’Oise Hebdo. He reported damaged roofs, but no injuries.
Instability will continue on Wednesday, with stormy showers expected in Auvergne, the north of the Rhône valley, the Paris region and the Jura. Minimum temperatures will range from 12°C to 16°C in the northern half, and from 14°C to 20°C in the south. The maximums will be between 18°C and 22°C in the northwest, and between 22°C and 30°C in the rest of the country, with a peak of 33°C in Marseille.
