Gusts of up to 120 km/h are expected from Cotentin to Pas-de-Calais from the afternoon of April 12, 2023. Here is the information to know about the passage of storm Noa.
Storm Noa prompted Météo France to place three departments on orange alert due to a risk of strong winds this Wednesday, April 12. These are Manche, Pas-de-Calais and Seine-Maritime. Noa comes from Great Britain and should hit the French coasts during the afternoon with gusts of up to 120 km / h during the most powerful showers. Thunderstorms are also likely to occur. Inland, the wind can reach 100 km/h in the most exposed areas.
The winds will gradually strengthen at the end of the morning with the arrival of the strongest gusts at the end of the afternoon. The weather will be unstable throughout the north of the country with many showers. According the weather channel, this type of storm is “pretty classic in early spring”. Wind gusts of 70 to 90 km/h are also expected along the Mediterranean rim.
