Storm Charles Brings Heavy Rain, Strong Winds, and Flood Risk to Southern France and Corsica

Météo-France has issued yellow warnings for heavy rain, dangerous waves, and strong winds across nine southern French departments, including Alpes-Maritimes and Corse-du-Sud. Rainfall of 60-80 mm is expected in the Alps, with localized amounts up to 150mm in Cévennes and inland Provence. Wind gusts could reach 100 km/h in some areas, and up to 140 km/h on Corsica. Waves of 4.5-5 meters are forecast south of Corsica. The Haute-Corse department is under a "raw orange alert" due to a significant rise in the Tavignano river. Conditions are expected to improve on Friday, November 13.
