This is just the beginning of this tough weather cocktail. In the coming days, it will even turn out to be a little more bitter. “France will find itself under the influence of a very powerful high altitude wind”, indicated meteorologist Yann Amice for a previous article.

A first episode of wind will set in in the west of France this Thursday 30th October, then a second probably even a little stronger Saturday 1st November.

Some wind gusts at 100 km/h are already modeled on the coasts of Brittany and Normandy for this Saturday 1st November.
