“Very strong autumn storm” Ciaran: France prepares for winds blowing up to 170 km/h, Belgium on yellow alert
Orange or yellow alert
The IRM has issued for Thursday, from 3:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., an orange wind alert for the Coast and West Flanders, yellow for the rest of the Belgian provinces. After passing through France, storm Ciarán should indeed be accompanied by winds with an intensity of 6 to 7 Beaufort over a large part of the territory, and around 10 Beaufort at sea. The gusts will thus blow from 70 to 90 km /h in the east of the country, 80 to 100 km/h in the center and 90 to 110 km/h in the west, or occasionally more in a heavy downpour. Damage cannot therefore be ruled out, underlines the IRM, calling for caution.
