Météo-France has placed the two departments in the south of the country in orange vigilance this Tuesday morning. These are Hérault and Gard where thunderstorms are expected in the morning. These thunderstorms can be violent and not very mobile.
They will be accompanied by rain and will be able to give 80 to 100 mm, or even more, in a short time. The orange alert is therefore also for flooding. Météo-France specifies, however, that “all of the two departments are not affected by this episode, which should remain localized”. In fact, the stormy activity is very marked in the Massif Central, particularly in the Cévennes, but also in the lower Rhône valley which also experiences good stormy rains.
Hail
Météo-France reminds that in case of orange storm vigilance, it is advisable to move away from trees and streams, to take shelter in a solid building, to avoid moving or using your vehicle. telephone and electrical appliances.
Strong gusts of wind, hail and marked electrical activity are also expected. Thunderstorm activity will subside during the afternoon.
