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.

Understanding the Four Warning Levels and Safety Guidelines

Meaning of Green, Yellow, Orange and Red warning levels

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.

Nine monitored meteorological hazards

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.

Multi-day hazard forecast matrix

Alongside today’s map, a chronological matrix helps identify upcoming weather deteriorations across your department several days in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions — Weather Warnings

What should I do when my department is placed on Orange warning?

Secure outdoor objects sensitive to wind, avoid forests and riverbanks, unplug sensitive electrical appliances during severe thunderstorms and postpone non-essential road travel.

Why is a neighboring department under warning while mine is not?

Warning thresholds account for local topography, prior soil saturation and exposure to prevailing winds specific to each department.

How often is the warning map updated?

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.
