France has issued an orange weather alert for 12 departments due to severe weather conditions expected to affect parts of the country.
France’s national weather service Meteo-France warned that heavy rainfall, hailstorms and strong winds could hit several regions, including Charente, Deux-Sèvres and Indre-et-Loire.
Authorities said wind speeds could reach up to 100 kilometers per hour as storms move across the affected areas.
The orange alert will come into effect at 6:00 p.m. local time, with officials urging residents to remain cautious and follow safety instructions due to the risk of hazardous weather conditions.
The warning comes days after a storm in southern France on August 24 left 39 people injured and damaged around 300 homes in the town of Pomas, located in the Aude department.(ILKHA)
