In the South West, Météo France expects exceptional rain accumulations by Monday. This Sunday afternoon, the meteorological institute placed two departments in red rain-flood vigilance, the Landes and the Gironde. "The quantities planned in 24/48 hours could thus be close to the centennial values in places," he warns.
Twenty-five other departments are also maintained or placed on orange alert: Aube, Côte-d'Or, Haute-Garonne, Haute-Marne, Haute-Saône, Tarn, Vosges, Yonne, Charente-Maritime, Gers, Indre-et-Loire, Loir-et-Cher, Loiret, Lot-et-Garonne, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Hautes-Pyrénées, Paris and the inner suburbs (75- 92-93-94), Seine-et-Marne, Yvelines, Essonne and Val-d'Oise.
