“These could bring extremely heavy rain, with amounts of between 40 and 80 litres per square meter within a few hours.
“Large hail with a diameter of around 3 cm is also expected, as are strong storm or hurricane gusts with speeds of between 100 and 140 km/h.
“Tornadoes cannot be ruled out either.”
