Storm “Louis”: “low but not zero risk” of tornado in the West of France this Thursday. 28 departments are placed on orange alert for wind and rain-flooding.

Thunderstorms are also expected in the evening and they could cause tornadoes in the North-West departments. On average, between 40 and 50 tornadoes touch French soil. Most of them have “very low to low” intensities. But this tornado phenomenon in France is not as rare as one might imagine.
