An “arcus” type cloud took hold of the Norman sky this morning, which did not fail to make Internet users around the world react.
While Normandy is on orange alert to thunderstorms, the inhabitants of Calvados and Seine-Maritime woke up this Thursday August 24 with an imposing pinkish cloud in the sky. This is a “bow“, a type of cloud that generally accompanies thunderstorms, indicates on X the meteorologist Guillaume Séchet.
This cloud, which looks like a threatening dome, was seen by the inhabitants of Le Havre and as far as Rouen. This cloud was only a foretaste of the major storms that subsequently swept over Normandy on Thursday morning, accompanied by gusts that could locally reach 100 km / h, indicates the storm observatory Keraunos on X.
The Norman publisher and author Guy Birenbaum was able to capture this phenomenon on the beach of Trouville-sur-Mer, when he woke up this morning.
Since then, he has entrusted France Blue Normandy receive “dozens of calls and requests via social networks”. “It interests a lot of people since I have been solicited to the Qatari channel Al-Jazeera. It’s not a joke ! Belgians, Dutch, France Télévisions…”
