"While Scotland, Northern Ireland, as well as much of northwest England and Wales, were expected to be most impacted by the storm, intense gusts of wind were also expected along the English Channel starting on Saturday afternoon. Forecasters warned that some coastal areas could see winds of up to 120 km/h, while inland areas could see gusts of 100 km/h."
"The Pas-de-Calais département was also placed on the weather warning for heavy rain and possible flooding on Saturday, while Nord, Somme, Seine-Maritime, Calvados and Manche were all on the yellow warning for thunderstorms. What does a 'yellow' warning mean? In areas where yellow alerts are issued, you should be aware that more intense weather conditions are possible that may be locally dangerous for anyone practising outdoor activities."
Northern France, particularly areas along the English Channel, faces strong winds and heavy rain as Storm Amy approaches from Saturday. Météo France placed 55 départements in northern France on yellow wind warnings, with Pas-de-Calais also warned for heavy rain and possible flooding and several northern départements on yellow thunderstorm alerts. Forecasters expect coastal gusts up to 120 km/h and inland gusts up to 100 km/h. Residents in exposed areas and vulnerable groups should monitor local forecasts, take preventive measures, and be prepared for potential escalation of warning levels.
