The warm sunny weather this Wednesday morning will turn in the next few hours. Météo-France has issued an orange vigilance bulletin for Rhône-Alpes and the Haute-Loire department, where strong thunderstorms are forecast.

From 2 p.m. until 10 p.m., heavy rain, hailstorms and strong winds are expected in the Rhône, Loire, Ardèche, Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Ain, Isère and the Drôme. In these departments, wind gusts could reach 80 to 100 km / h, according to Météo-France, which invites the population to be vigilant.

These thunderstorms, which should be accompanied over time by a drop in temperatures, located beyond 30 degrees at the end of the morning, will continue on Thursday in the region, in a less violent way.
