Thunder rumbles. A stormy degradation is expected this Friday April 21, 2023 in the evening, particularly in the south-west of the country. According to the forecasts of La Chaîne Météo, “these intense storms will cause sustained gusts of up to 100 km / h, hail and sleet in places and accumulations of 20 to 30 mm locally”.
Bad weather could be particularly severe at night, between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. The forecaster announces “sustained gusts (…) especially under the most powerful storm cells (90 to 100 km / h)” and “falls of hail or sleet”.
