Overview
- Météo‑France lists Aude on orange for rain‑flooding and river flooding Monday, with both Corsican departments also orange, Pyrénées‑Orientales upgraded to orange, and Hérault switched to orange for river crues.
- The Aude prefect ordered evacuations for ground‑floor homes in Narbonne’s Maraussan and Mayolle districts, directing residents to the city’s designated shelters.
- All schools and school transport in Aude are suspended Monday, with markets and outdoor events prohibited to reduce travel during the flooding risk.
- Rivers including the Cesse and Orb overflowed in places, triggering road closures and rescues — among them two helicopter hoists — with Aude authorities reporting no injuries.
- Rainfall has topped 180 mm in parts of Hérault, with expected totals of 100–150 mm in plains and up to 220 mm on higher ground, and forecasts point to more heavy rain, coastal gusts near 80–90 km/h and mountain snow into Tuesday.
