The sky remains rough this Friday. Météo France has placed nine departments on orange alert: Finistère and Côtes-d’Armor, due to a “rainy episode in progress over Brittany until morning” and Puy-de-Dôme, Cantal, Haute-Loire, Ardèche, Aveyron, Lozère and Gard due to a “rain-storm episode”.
In Brittany, the rains have resumed after a “brief lull”. The disturbance will slowly move north and leave the region in the morning, not without having delivered between 40 and 60mm of precipitation over the entire episode of around thirty hours.
An “atypical” episode
In the Cévennes, very heavy rains have already fallen overnight, during which degradation has settled over Languedoc and the south of the Massif Central. On the reliefs of the Cévennes, Météo-France generally forecasts 150 to 250mm of precipitation, even up to 350mm punctually.
These conditions are “completely atypical”, comments Christophe Person, the weather specialist at BFMTV, because such a Mediterranean episode is more frequently visible “during the autumn”. It promises to be “sustainable” over the area and should only fade in the evening as the clouds shift to the North.
