In France, an 'orange alert' has been issued due to thunderstorms and severe flooding, along with a flood threat for Paris and the Île-de-France region.

The Carmague region is completely flooded after heavy rains. In Turkey, reports indicate that a fire broke out on Saturday evening in the Kundu area near Antalya, where popular tourist hotels are located.

Firefighters noted that the fire is rapidly spreading to the provinces of Mugla and Aydin due to strong winds. Fourteen aircraft, twenty helicopters, and over 800 rescuers are involved in extinguishing the fire.

Meteorologists from Meteo France warned that extreme weather conditions could return to the country within hours.

Due to flooding in Carmague, warnings have been issued concerning possible flooding in Provence and the Alps as significant rains lash the region. Forecasts predict precipitation from 70 to 90 mm in some areas, and up to 120 mm in isolated spots within a few hours.

Anticipating Extreme Weather Events

People are advised to be prepared for 'intense, widespread, and stormy conditions.' Terrifying footage from Turkey shows flames and smoke rising into the sky near high-rise buildings in Antalya, frequented by both local and foreign tourists.

In southern France, people are preparing for 'hail, sometimes medium or large, severe thunderstorms, strong gusts of wind, and even tornadoes.' This is caused by a powerful atmospheric current passing through the country from Brittany.

Several thunderstorms are expected to strike picturesque areas of the country, particularly one southern region that has already experienced flooding.

Tourists and local residents in France are strongly advised to remain vigilant and avoid travel. Meanwhile, in Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that the country is facing a 'truly great disaster,' as 25,000 people have joined efforts to extinguish the fire.

Since the end of June, Turkey has been battling numerous wildfires. Firefighters are dealing with over 600 blazes triggered by strong winds in a country already suffering from drought.

Residents have watched in horror as their homes and forested areas burned. Photos of the aftermath show burning vegetation and damaged buildings, while rescuers tirelessly attempt to control the flames.

Meteorologists from Meteo France warned: 'An intensification of the rainstorm is expected in the southeastern part of the country on Sunday afternoon and evening. Significant rainfall is possible in a short time, as well as the risk of hail and gusty winds.'

The situation is so critical that the Ligue 1 match between Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille has been postponed for a day while the country endures the storm.

This occurs against the backdrop of recent extreme weather conditions in Spain, where winds of up to 100 km/h, sudden flooding, and chaos were observed.
