The Hérault department, already affected by a major Cévennes episode on Wednesday, is once again placed on rain and flood alert by Météo-France this Saturday. Météo-France has activated the orange vigilance level, noting a “mass of humid and unstable air in the Mediterranean with the organization of an active rain-storm system around the Gulf of Lion”.

Significant accumulations are expected in Hérault, “in a range of 70 to 100 mm with peaks of 150 mm”. Météo-France predicts that these rains will occur over fairly short periods of time, “could therefore lead to significant runoff”.
