The orange alert was issued due to the risk of strong winds, high waves, flooding, as well as heavy rain, reports BFM TV.

Strong gusts of wind, reaching speeds of up to 161 km/h, have been recorded in Fécamp, and numerous disruptions on the railway network are expected throughout the day, particularly in Normandy and along France’s Atlantic coast.

Due to the strong winds, the orange weather alert will also be in effect from 2:00 p.m. in the Maritime Alps.

French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced on his X account that "emergency services are fully mobilized" in several regions of France.

“We are closely monitoring the situation,” said Nuñez, who urged citizens to “exercise caution.”
