The Météo France bulletin
An intense and brief thunderstorm episode is developing this Monday evening, quickly moving from west to east across the region before dissipating toward Corsica. Violent thunderstorm cells may affect the department, particularly in the plains and near the coast. Under these cells, phenomena such as hail (quite large and widespread), strong wind gusts of around 90 to 110 km/h, and up to 130 km/h near the coast, as well as heavy rainfall intensities of approximately 50–70 mm/h, are possible. Additionally, the risk of tornado-like phenomena is non-negligible near the coasts.
The Prefect of Bouches-du-Rhône reminds everyone of the safety guidelines to ensure the safety of all:
* Limit your movements. If you absolutely must drive, never enter a flooded road, even partially or exposed to waves.
* Avoid walking or driving near the sea and stay away from exposed structures (pier, seawalls, etc.).
* Be especially vigilant if you are engaging in outdoor activities near a river or the coastline. Avoid going to sea or engaging in nautical activities.
* Do not go down into basements, cellars, or underground parking areas.
* Stay away from trees, rivers, and low-lying areas that could quickly flood.
* Shelter people, animals, and belongings exposed to the risk before the storm event arrives.
* Secure or fasten objects that could be blown away by the wind, and protect property that could be damaged by heavy rain.
* Campers and guests staying in outdoor accommodations are asked to follow instructions from site managers and to move to safety quickly if weather conditions deteriorate.
* Check your boat's mooring; do not remain on board.
