The rain of the last days, caused by the storm Justine, has already caused a lot of damage in the country.

Many roads had to be closed to traffic on Monday in the southwest, mainly in the Landes and Gironde.

Overflows are expected until Tuesday.

In the Landes, 56 roads, especially secondary departmental axes, were cut Monday at midday, 17 more than the day before, according to a report from the departmental road coordination.

About fifty other roads remained under surveillance.

The Landes firefighters have carried out more than 80 outings in around forty municipalities since the start of the Justine phenomenon, mainly non-serious interventions for clearing trees on the track, and drying up of premises.

In several municipalities such as Tartas, Ondres, Luxey, neighborhoods had their feet in the water.

On Sunday, a person was slightly injured by a fall from a tree on his house in Saint-Sever, while a 70-year-old man was found drowned in the North, caught in the waters of the Sambre River, so that the department was classified in orange vigilance for floods, announced Monday the firefighters.

It will snow in the northern Alps around 1,500 meters in the morning and then above 2,000 meters during the day.

Over the Northwest as well as from North to Center, after the morning rains, the weather will remain very cloudy with more scattered showers during the day.

A moderate southwesterly wind will blow over the northern and northwestern shores.

In the southernmost regions, the trend will be improving with clouds that will let beautiful clearings break through in the afternoon.

Around the Mediterranean, the Mistral and Tramontane will be less marked.

In the morning, temperatures will range from 3 to 8 degrees in the north and east of the country, from 6 to 11 degrees elsewhere, up to 12 degrees in Roussillon.
