For the past few hours Mai 11, 2020, many residents of Ile-de-France have been reporting the smell of sulfur in the air.
But what is this strange smell that many Ile-de-France residents have been feeling for about 18 hours? This is the question that many Internet users have been asking themselves since this Sunday evening.
A significant smell of sulfur has been reported by residents of several towns in Ile-de-France, in Val-de-Marne, Essonne, Seine-Saint-Denis, or even Seine-et-Marne. The smell is also felt in the department of Oise according to our information.
Many people on social media have shared images of a yellowish sky accompanied by this lingering smell.
If the police and the gendarmerie explain from their side that the smell of sulfur felt in several departments has nothing to do with a specific intervention in progress, the firefighters assure them that it would be "probably linked to recent bad weather" without confirming that the violent storms of the past 24 hours would be the cause.
The firefighters who have also been in great demand during the past few hours faced with the concerns of Ile-de-France residents on this subject.
At the time of writing, odors are still strongly felt in Ile-de-France.
Une étrange odeur de souffre, ressentie sur toute l’île-de-France ce dimanche soir
