If the start of the week was rather mild, with temperatures far from unbearable, the end of the week promises to be more turbulent. From this Thursday, December 19, 2024, the mercury should fall, and precipitation should return in force.

As demonstrated by Météo France, which has just placed the two Corsican departments on orange alert for windfor the day of Friday 20. They are threatened by storm Dionisio, which is forecast in particular in the north of Italy.

60 departments in yellow this Thursday

“The westerly wind strengthens significantly in the second part of the night from Thursday to Friday, blowing in gusts at 90/100 km/h over a large part of the island, 120 to 140 km/h in Balagne and on the ridges , locally 180 km/h towards Cap Corse,” explains the forecaster.

“The wind then turns north to northwest on Friday at daybreak, with violent gusts close to 100/120 km/h, sweeping all the coastal towns, a fairly unusual situation,” adds Météo France.

As a result, 60 departments have been placed on yellow alert for wind, snow, ice and even avalanches.
