L’ouragan majeur Kirk évolue dans l’Atlantique, sous 20°N ce jeudi.
Il devrait effectuer la semaine prochaine sa transition extratropicale (et donc ne plus être un ouragan) au nord des Açores et pourrait être repris par un vaste thalweg Atlantique en direction de l’Europe… pic.twitter.com/stWIek5JI8

Where will Kirk hit?
If hurricane Kirk does affect France, the north-west is expected to face the brunt of the harsh weather, particularly Brittany and the Pays de la Loire regions.
If it passes through the Channel, Normandy will also be affected by heavy rainfall, particularly along the coast.
Rain and strong winds could reach into central France and up to the Belgian border over the course of Wednesday and Thursday.
Gales will be stronger in the coastal areas but may still reach up to 100 km/h inland depending on exactly where the hurricane hits.
Heavy rain is also forecast, however coastal flooding is unlikely as the hurricane is not expected to stir up strong waves along the French coast.
Some areas may be at risk of flash flooding or river flooding, however, as a wet 2024 has left many soils saturated.
