The map gives an overview of all the gale and storm warnings for Rhône-Alpes. On the graphic you can see at which locations respectively in which areas of Rhône-Alpes gale or storm has to be reckoned with.
We distinguish between weather watches and weather warnings. A storm watch for Rhône-Alpes is issued if a gale / storm in Rhône-Alpes is probable but there are uncertainties about duration, intensity and/or the course of it. Gale / storm warnings are released in three levels (orange, red, violet) that comply with the intensity of the expected storm gusts. The detailed and reliable forecasts of such gale or storm events are very important especially for the building industry, the agriculture, the forestry, insurances and event organisers of Rhône-Alpes.
