Instant Wetter Frankreich › Weather Warnings
The Weather Warnings page provides a complete overview of meteorological hazards across all French departments, highlighting areas under special watch today and over the coming days.
Green indicates no particular hazard. Yellow calls for attentiveness during outdoor activities. Orange signals dangerous phenomena requiring heightened caution and limiting non-essential travel. Red denotes an event of exceptional intensity requiring strict adherence to civil safety instructions.
Each departmental sheet details risks for violent winds, thunderstorms, heavy rain and flooding, river floods, snow-ice, coastal waves-submersion, mountain avalanches, heatwaves and extreme cold.
Alongside today’s map, a chronological matrix helps identify upcoming weather deteriorations across your department several days in advance.
Secure outdoor objects sensitive to wind, avoid forests and riverbanks, unplug sensitive electrical appliances during severe thunderstorms and postpone non-essential road travel.
Warning thresholds account for local topography, prior soil saturation and exposure to prevailing winds specific to each department.
The map is updated at least twice daily (at 6:00 AM and 4:00 PM) and at any time whenever a severe weather event evolves rapidly.
