Severe Weather Alert in Southeast France

Published: 2024-10-25

The southeast of France is bracing for another round of severe weather, just days after experiencing heavy rainfall.

A Mediterranean depression is expected to bring intense rain and thunderstorms to the region, particularly affecting the departments of Gard, Var, Ardèche, and Alpes-Maritimes.

These areas have been placed under an orange alert for rain and flooding, with the most critical period anticipated from Saturday evening into Sunday.

The persistent rainfall on already saturated ground raises concerns about potential flooding.

Residents are advised to stay updated with weather bulletins and exercise caution.

Meanwhile, the northern part of France will enjoy milder weather, with some sunshine expected over the weekend.
