Gusts of up to 120 km/h: a 'strong wind' will hit France
A significant weather event with gusts up to 120 km/h is forecasted to impact southern France between Wednesday and Thursday due to an active depression forming over the Atlantic.
A strong weather front characterized by gusts of wind reaching up to 120 km/h is expected to affect a large part of southern France during the week. This meteorological phenomenon, described as a 'strong wind', is anticipated to occur as a result of an active depression developing near the Atlantic Ocean, coupled with a particularly vigorous jet stream at high altitudes. The severe weather is projected to take place between Wednesday and Thursday.
As the Atlantic depression moves towards Northern Europe, it is expected to intensify the winds throughout the southern half of France. According to meteorological forecasts from La Chaîne Météo, areas to the south of this depression could witness a notable acceleration of winds, particularly impactful as the weather system passes just south of England. The impending stormy conditions could pose risks, especially considering the sustained gusts anticipated as early as Wednesday night.
Local residents and authorities are advised to prepare for these potentially hazardous conditions, with particular attention required for outdoor activities and transportation. The National Meteorological Service may issue warnings and advisories as the event draws nearer, emphasizing the importance of safety measures during this intense weather episode.
