THUNDERSTORM RISK MONITORING

Storm cells are identified thanks to measurements from meteorological radars. In addition, data from the Météo-France observation network and the lightning detection network operated by Météorage (a subsidiary of Météo-France), make it possible to describe the characteristics of each storm cell.

 

All this information is collected and processed in real time. It makes it possible to calculate the trajectory and speed of the storm cells observed and to predict their movements.

 

This one hour forecast is updated every 5 minutes.
