Parisians are urged during bad weather not to hide under trees and not to use mobile phones and other electronics while outside.
The Paris City Hall has decided to close all the green areas of the capital and the cemetery to visitors to prevent accidents during the upcoming storm, reports Le Figaro.
Meteorologists warned of severe thunderstorms Sunday afternoon, with wind gusts reaching 70-100 kilometers per hour.
The City Hall in this regard decided to ban visits to parks, gardens and cemeteries in Paris after 16:30.
“All areas will be open from Monday morning as usual after checking,” the message added.

The bad weather led to the cancellation of the concert of the famous British artist Sting, which was planned in the open air in the park of the castle of Fontainebleau, southeast of Paris. The organizers announced at the last moment that the performance would not take place – “to ensure the safety of the public, artists and technical team”.
Last week, Paris was also lashed by severe storms, with streets flooded in places.
Recall that on the eve of the anniversary of the mass invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, the Eiffel Tower was illuminated in yellow and blue colors.
