Gusts of up to 120km/h are being forecast in some areas
Most of northern France is bracing itself for storms and high winds.
Météo France has issued a yellow alert (the third-highest possible) for stormy conditions in more than 40 departments.
It mainly affects France’s north and north-east but also includes some departments in Brittany and Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Western and central departments are on alert from late on Wednesday (March 29) evening, with the north and north-east expected to be hit on Thursday.
The departments of Isère and Haute-Savoie are forecast to be on yellow alert for avalanche risks on Thursday.
La Chaîne Météo says Friday (March 31) could be worse, with 120km/h gusts expected in north and north-west France.
The storms and high winds are in stark contrast to Wednesday’s weather in France’s south-west, which saw temperatures in the high 20s, threatening records.
