Storms That Don’t Play Nice!
Southern and Upper Corsica are under an orange weather alert, and France’s meteorological service MétéoFrance means business. Starting between 9 AM and noon, expect storms with winds that can hit over 100 km/h! Yes, you read that right — winds strong enough to knock you off your feet and tear apart anything not nailed down.
Corsica’s Been Through Hell Before
The island of beauty isn’t new to brutal weather. Back in September last year, Corsica was hit by fierce storms dumping between 30 and 60 mm of rain, with some spots getting even more. The eastern plains and areas around Castanjic were the hardest hit. Now, the storms are back — and meteorologists warn they’ll be even fiercer.
It’s Not Just Corsica — Eastern Pyrenees Are Also in the Crosshairs!
The departments of the eastern Pyrenees are also under an orange weather alert. In just one hour, over 5,000 lightning strikes were recorded in that area! Lightning is literally flashing like fireworks, as if the sky is about to fall down.
What’s Coming Our Way?
Expect heavy rain, strong winds, and thunder. Local floods and damage to buildings and infrastructure are possible. If you planned a chill time on the Mediterranean or Corsica, maybe rethink those plans.
Why Is This Happening?
Climate change and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. The French meteorological service is monitoring the situation and urges people to stay alert and follow official warnings.
Bottom Line?
Don’t underestimate nature! If you’re in the affected areas, get ready for trouble. Winds over 100 km/h aren’t a joke, and lightning flashing everywhere can be deadly.
