The Paris region is not immune to storms. WhenÎle-de-France is placed under vigilance due to thunderstorms and high winds, precautions must be taken! Whether you're on foot or in a vehicle, we strongly recommend that you limit your movements and avoid woods and forests, as gusts of wind can cause trees to fall, as well as the risk of lightning strikes during thunderstorms.
Depending on the situation, local authorities may decide to close their green spaces to the public for safety reasons, pending the end of the storm warning. Parks, gardens and cemeteries may become inaccessible during these periods. Riverside towns may also restrict access to their banks, given the risk of high water and flooding caused by heavy rainfall.
With the arrival of Storm Kirk, all departments in the Île-de-France region have been placed under vigilance orange for rain and flooding this Wednesday, October 9, 2024. To the east of the region, Seine-et-Marne (77) has been given a red flood alert, the highest level. Outdoor activities are suspended until Friday.
