"During the evening and next night, a mobile storm system will approach the Atlantic coast and quickly sink into the south of Pays-de-Loire and the north of New Aquitaine towards the Center", explains Météo France, which anticipates "A strong electrical activity" and violent gusts of wind "often between 80 and 100 km / h or even very locally a little more".
This should be accompanied by heavy heavy rains with occasional accumulations of between 30 and 40 mm "generally falling in less than an hour" and a risk of hail. "These storms will then shift towards the Center, Île-de-France then Hauts-de-France but will then be less violent", adds the meteorological institute.
