A method for protecting an electronic system against a voltage surge, which electronic system is connected to a telecommunication network and includes a control integrated circuit, the method including successively connecting the electronic system to a remote server containing meteorological data; recovering meteorological data originating from the remote server; analyzing by the control circuit the recovered meteorological data to assign thereto a danger level of the current or imminent meteorological event; and, when the assigned danger level exceeds a main warning threshold: sending by the control circuit a warning signal to a display terminal connected to the electronic system; displaying a first warning message on the display terminal from information contained in the warning signal, the first warning message warning a user of the display terminal of a risk of voltage surge due to the current or imminent meteorological event; and electrical isolating a port of the electronic system.
