Days are France's own calendar days. "Tomorrow" lists every warning still valid after midnight local time, so a warning that runs overnight is in both lists. "Valid" is the warning's own end time. Start times are not stored by this site yet, so a warning Météo-France issued ahead of time for tomorrow also appears under today; the service's own page has its start time.
What the levels mean
- Yellow. The weather is potentially dangerous. The forecast phenomena are not unusual, but be attentive if you are doing anything exposed to the weather.
- Orange. The weather is dangerous. Unusual phenomena are forecast and damage and casualties are likely. Be very vigilant and keep up to date.
- Red. The weather is very dangerous. Exceptionally intense phenomena are forecast and major damage and accidents are likely, in many cases with threat to life over a wide area. Follow the advice of the authorities.
Where these warnings come from
Every warning here was issued by Météo-France, France's national weather service, and published through MeteoAlarm. This site stores warnings rated Moderate (Yellow) and above, shows only the newest version of a warning the service has updated, and does not issue warnings. Rivers, avalanches and civil protection may have their own warning services in France. Follow Météo-France and your local authorities.
