Generally speaking, the windy episode is less strong than feared (except gusts in high mountains).
Since the start of the episode, the maximum gusts have reached:
180 km/h at Iraty (64)
176 km/h at the Aiguille du Midi (74)
146 km/h at Villard de Lans
124 km/h in Barfleur (50)
122 km/h in Fécamp (76).
At 9:28 a.m.instability is clearly increasing with squall lines and occasional stormy showers. The rains are starting to become more and more intense in the Ardèche Cévennes.
At 09:12the situation continues to deteriorate with increasingly strong winds with the arrival of the trough (low pressure trough) of the Floriane depression over the western half of the country. The wind will strengthen across all the departments placed on alert by our METEO CONSULT services in the coming hours.
At 08:49the wind continues to strengthen in the Channel and in the center-east.
At 08:05the mildness is remarkable throughout the country, thanks to the Floriane depression which pumps a subtropical air mass over France.
At 7:43 a.m.the wind continues to strengthen in the west and particularly in the heat where we exceed 120 km/h locally as in Fécamp in Seine-Maritime. The wind will continue to gradually strengthen both over the Atlantic arc and in the northwest over the hours.
At 07:21the rains are also abundant, alongside this gale. The 30 mm are exceeded in the Grand-Est in the Meuse for example, but also in the Ardèche Cévennes, which will experience sustained rain until the evening of this Monday. Be careful if you take the road towards the relief during the day.
At 7:06 a.m.the wind continues to strengthen in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes with gusts quickly reaching 80 km/h between Lyon, Saint-Étienne, the north of Isère and the Saône Valley. This episode of strong wind continues until this evening in this sector, with gusts sometimes around 90 km/h, up to 110 km/h on the Pilat massif, the Lyonnais mountains, the Chartreuse and the Vercors.
At 06:12the wind strengthens significantly on the Channel coast with up to 124 km/h in Barfleur.
