Bad weather linked to a “cold drop” is crossing France this week.
Summer is (still) waiting. Violent storms, sometimes accompanied by hail, are expected in several regions at the start of the week, Météo France predicts. A “cold drop” will cross the country this week, causing significant weather disturbances.
From mid-afternoon, the weather should turn stormy around Auvergne, announces the Keraunos observatory in its bulletin of Monday June 17. These first storms should quickly increase in intensity, while spreading towards the Rhône and Burgundy, indicates the meteorological institute.
Locally, this could result in violent hail, as well as heavy rain, associated with wind gusts sometimes close to 90 km/h, according to the latest forecasts. Thunderstorm activity should decline late in the evening in these regions.
