After a summer sequence, storms are back over a large part of the country from the night of this Saturday 11th to Sunday 12th May.

We should expect many storms during the night of this Saturday 11th to Sunday 12th May, after a summer sequence, which brought heat, notably in the south west of France.

It is also Aquitaine which will be particularly exposed to the risk of violent storms, the weather channel indicates this Saturday. Locally, these disturbances may be accompanied by hail, particularly in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques.
