Flood Alerts Lifted in France as Weather Conditions Improve
Météo-France has lifted flood warnings in all departments, including Gironde, after significant rainfall and high tides caused concerns.
- Vigilance orange for floods has been lifted in Gironde, where the Garonne and Dordogne rivers showed minor overflow without causing damage.
- Earlier, red flood alerts were removed in Rhône, Loire, Haute-Loire, and Lozère, marking an end to severe weather alerts across the south of France.
- Heavy rainfall, described as the most intense in 40 years by the Prime Minister, led to 2,300 emergency interventions in the Centre-East region.
- Three people sustained minor injuries in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes due to the severe weather, while an unrelated incident in Paris resulted in one fatality.
- Despite the lifting of alerts, wet and windy conditions persist, with rain expected to continue in Brittany and Pays de la Loire.
