An intense low pressure system has swung east across the Bay of Biscay to pound southwest France this morning. Winds gusting in excess of 90 mph around Bordeaux have brought power lines down and closed the airport. At 8 o'clock this morning, 70mph winds were still battering southwest France, the north coast of Spain, and also the northeast around Reus airport and up to Barcelona.
This vicious little low will head to Italy and the Adriatic for Sunday with a welcome respite for many as the winds ease down.
Another low is set to form in the western Mediterranean on Tuesday bringing gales but nothing as severe as today.
