Overview
- Météo-France recorded peak gusts overnight of 162 km/h at Biscarrosse, 145 km/h at Pau, 136 km/h at Mont-de-Marsan, 125 km/h at Toulouse and 124 km/h at Bordeaux.
- Red vigilance covers floods on the Garonne in Gironde and Lot-et-Garonne (maintained into Friday), violent winds in Aude, and avalanches in Savoie, with dozens more departments on orange alert.
- Enedis reports about 850,000 customers without electricity early Thursday, largely in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie, with repair crews mobilized as conditions allow.
- Rail service is widely disrupted across the southwest and beyond, with SNCF cancellations and suspensions, while flights and ferries to and from Corsica are curtailed and many schools are closed in Aude and the Pyrénées-Orientales.
- Vigicrues warns of potentially very large overflows on the Garonne between Langon and Agen, comparable to major 2021–2022 floods, prompting evacuations in La Réole as authorities maintain close monitoring.
