France is under an orange weather alert in the departments of Upper and Southern Corsica, with storms expected to bring winds reaching up to 100 kilometers per hour and possible hail. The meteorological service MeteoFrance warns that the stormy phenomenon will begin between 9 AM and 12 PM, meaning residents and tourists need to stay alert. But wait, there’s more – while Corsica battles these weather troubles, France is also facing an alarming rise in drownings, especially among children, linked to the heatwave. Between June 1 and July 2 this year, drowning cases surged by a staggering 95% compared to the same period last year, which is downright scary. Is this due to negligence, poor organization, or just extreme weather conditions? One thing’s for sure – it’s high time we all take these issues seriously. If you’re on Corsica or planning a trip, better pack those raincoats and keep an eye on the kids near water. And for those who love sunbathing and swimming, maybe think twice before jumping in. This orange alert is no joke, and the numbers don’t lie. Got a wild weather story or a crazy storm experience? Share it – maybe you’ll make us laugh or warn us about something we didn’t know!
