Météo France has placed the middle Seine section (between Montereau and Saint-Fargeau-Ponthierry) on yellow alert for risk of overflows. The water level is expected to rise further in the coming hours and reach a peak on Saturday.

For the moment, this is a “usual” flood for the season, but the prefecture encourages residents of the municipalities concerned to limit their travel, not to take a submerged route and to move away from river courses.
