According to the meteorological institute’s explanations, cool air coming from the Atlantic will collide with the currently warm air and thus cause stormy weather over a large part of the territory.
A violent stormy offensive
Occitanie will not be left out, since Météo-France places all the departments in the region on yellow alert. Worse: the Grand-Est region and Burgundy-Franche-Comté, but also the departments of Cher, Landes, Gironde, Charente, Charente-Maritime, Vienne and Deux-Sèvres are placed in orange vigilance ‘Thunderstorms’.
WEATHER FRANCE
This stormy offensive promises to be violent, “probably the strongest since the beginning of this year 2024”alerts The Weather Channel. The storms will cross France from the South-East to the North-East and could be accompanied by intense rain and strong gusts.
High temperatures are nevertheless forecast for this weekend in the country, with a thermometer ranging from 14°C to 25°C in the morning, and varying between 20°C and 33°C during the afternoon on the whole of France.
