While the month of “June 2023 is the 2nd month of June most struck by lightning over the period 1997-2023 behind June 2022, with twice as many lightning impacts as the average. June 2023 ranks 2nd among the months of warmest June over the period 1900-2023 behind June 2003”. But how does the month of July look like? While most French people have already packed their bags to enjoy their summer holidays, storms will continue to rumble over much of the territory. Discover, in our slideshow available below, the 62 departments affected by storms.
It is expected, for this evening of Friday, July 7, “violent thunderstorms, with hail and very strong gusts of wind” on the south-west of France from the Basque country. Indeed, as Météo-France specifies, “yellow vigilance is therefore likely to evolve towards orange vigilance in a certain number of departments. At this stage, the scope of this degradation is still uncertain. It is therefore necessary to carefully monitor the evolution of the situation through the next vigilance maps”.
With information that becomes clearer from hour to hour, the Météo-France site regularly updates alerts. If this morning the 62 French departments concerned by this alert, the situation may change.
