This Sunday morning Météo France placed four departments in the north of the country on orange alert due to the return of strong winds, expected for the evening. If the gusts should be less strong than those unleashed by Eunice on Friday, we fear gusts of more than 100 km / h.
Meteo France again classified this Sunday morning the North, the Pas-de-Calais, the Somme and the Seine-Maritime in orange vigilance with strong winds for Sunday evening, two days after the passage of the storm Eunice, which caused significant damage in the area.
Peaks up to 130 km/h
These departments must be affected between 8 p.m. Sunday and 1 a.m. Monday by a “new stormy episode circulating quickly, of less intensity than the recent storm ‘Eunice’, however requiring particular vigilance”, writes Météo-France in its bulletin of Sunday morning.
This episode will be marked by a “very active cold front” with gusts “generally between 100 and 110 km / h with possible peaks at 120 or even 130 km / h” associated with strong waves on the Channel coast.
Trees already weakened by Eunice
This new gale should hit the departments of Nord and Pas-de-Calais where trees and infrastructure are already weakened by the passage Friday afternoon of storm Eunice, accompanied by very violent winds.
If she did not kill in France, Eunice cost the lives of at least 16 people in Europe (the Netherlands, Poland, England, Germany, Belgium and Ireland).
