The month of May is marked by many bad weather, and it will take a few more days to see sunny skies arrive. This Wednesday, May 17, 2023, “the disturbance from the day before (cold front) has disintegrated and no longer impacts the country”, says Alexandre Isgro, meteorologist for La Chaîne Météo. If the weather is starting to be nice in most regions, showers and thunderstorms will nevertheless be present from the end of the morning.
In Corsica, the rise in temperatures is accompanied by significant rainfall. “The convection is quickly set up in PACA during the afternoon with stormy showers”, specifies Alexandre Isgro. In these areas, strong winds will also occur in the afternoon. Consult our slideshow below to find out if your department is affected by these bad weather.
