Mairie de Verneuil-sur-Seine

Storm 'Austen' will hit northwestern France this Friday, October 23, 2026, with wind gusts expected between 90 and 95 km/h in Île-de-France. The Yvelines department has been placed on yellow alert by Météo France.

On Friday, October 23, 2026, storm 'Austen' will affect northwestern France. Île-de-France is expected to experience gusts of around 90 to 95 km/h. Météo France has placed the Yvelines department on YELLOW wind alert for tomorrow.
However, there are still uncertainties, and it is not excluded that the forecasts may be revised upwards, potentially leading to an increased alert level. Therefore, a move to ORANGE 'Wind' alert is being considered for the Yvelines on Friday, October 23, 2026, from 05:00 to 23:00.
In any case, wind gusts can cause significant damage and pose a risk to the population. Due to the risk of falling tree branches or trees, communal parks and cemeteries in Verneuil-sur-Seine will remain closed by order. Reopenings are planned for Saturday at the usual times.
The municipality therefore advises limiting travel and avoiding forest walks.
