Météo-France has issued orange-level thunderstorm alerts for two departments in France, Seine-Maritime and Allier, in anticipation of severe weather expected on June 25, 2025. The alerts come amid a forecast of a heat wave, with temperatures expected to soar between 32 to 38 degrees Celsius across the regions.
In Seine-Maritime, thunderstorms are set to develop throughout the day, particularly intensifying in the afternoon and evening.
