Storm Charles impacted Corsica and southern France on Thursday, November 12, causing heavy rainfall and strong winds reaching up to 100 km/h. The Alpes-Maritimes and the French Riviera were particularly affected, with rainfall totals equivalent to three weeks in just a few hours, leading to flooding and inundations. Several departments were placed on yellow alert for rainfall-flooding, wind, and wave-submersion parameters. Authorities urged caution and recommended against venturing into flood-prone areas or near the coast. The storm is expected to move towards the Alps and Italy in the evening, but thunderstorms and heavy rainfall could persist in Corsica and the French Riviera.
