Météo France announced that it will modify its existing three‑tier "yellow‑orange‑red" weather alert system. The overhaul is intended to introduce more granular categories that can better reflect the intensity and timing of hazardous weather.
The new framework will focus on extreme events such as strong storms, flooding and heatwaves, providing the public and authorities with earlier and clearer alerts. Officials said the change should help reduce damage and improve preparedness.
