There is a storm in the air! The last week of May is favorable to bad weather, especially in the south of France. According to La Chaîne Météo models, an anticyclone dominates the Atlantic while disturbances are active between the Iberian Peninsula and central Europe. “This configuration is responsible for unstable and stormy weather in the south of France, but dry and calm in the north. Due to a small persistent northeasterly flow, temperatures do not change much and remain close to average “, specifies the site specializing in meteorology. In the north, temperatures are mild, pleasant and seasonal.
This Tuesday, May 23, 2023, Météo-France* has placed around forty departments on storm yellow vigilance in view of the deterioration expected from noon. Vigilance will be lifted, for the majority of territories, overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday. Are you affected by the alert? Check it out in our slideshow below.
