Large parts of Europe have been affected by a series of intense thunderstorms, bringing torrential rain, damaging winds, and large hail.

Central France was particularly badly affected by the severe weather, as powerful storm systems swept south-westward across the country.

The storms were fuelled by warm, saturated air rising from the Mediterranean clashing with cooler air descending from northern Europe .
