Météo France has placed the Alpes-Maritimes on yellow alert this Tuesday, April 15 in the evening. Thunderstorms are expected, particularly over Nice and in the hinterland. The alert will begin at 9 p.m. and could last all night.
The sky over the Côte d’Azur will remain unsettled on Tuesday. Météo France has issued a yellow alert for risk of thunderstorms throughout the Alpes-Maritimes department. This alert will begin at 9 p.m. and could extend until the next morning, Wednesday at 9 a.m.
The first showers are expected in the evening. Lightning could also affect several areas of the department. According to forecasts, the Nice hinterland will be affected. The coastline, and in particular Nice, could also experience rainy episodes.
Caution is therefore recommended when traveling, particularly in the late afternoon and during the night. Slippery roads, poor visibility and gusts are to be expected in certain areas.
Unstable weather that continues
This deterioration is part of a week marked by unstable weather conditions. Rain will continue to fall over the Alpes-Maritimes in the coming days. For Wednesday, April 16, a yellow alert for “rain-flooding” is already announced.
Météo France also signals a risk of avalanches for Tuesday. A yellow alert is in effect for the affected massifs. This phenomenon remains localized but could affect certain mountain routes.
These alerts remind us of the importance of staying informed. Authorities are calling on residents to follow the evolution of weather bulletins. Precautionary measures are in order, particularly for outdoor activities.
Yellow alert does not mean immediate danger, but it invites everyone to remain vigilant. The thunderstorm episode should ease off in Wednesday morning, before giving way to a new rainy sequence in the region.
