The first autumn storm of the season, named AUSTEN, is deepening off the coast of Brittany and will cross the northwest of the country with very strong gusts.
In Gironde, the vegetation is still very leafy and sometimes weakened by this summer's drought, which increases the risk of falling branches or trees.
For Gironde and the Atlantic coast, Météo-France announces a strengthening of the wind and stormy conditions during the night and on Friday. Caution is advised regarding the risk of wave submersion and strong gusts if you plan to travel to the coast.
It is recommended to secure or shelter wind-sensitive objects on balconies and terraces, avoid activities in forests or under weakened trees, and exercise extra caution when traveling while staying informed about the evolving situation.
