Overview
- Météo-France lifted the orange pluie-inondation alert Saturday afternoon, shifting the department to yellow as showers taper off into Sunday morning.
- Over 48 hours, many areas recorded roughly 100–120 mm of rain, locally higher, with some locations seeing a month’s worth of precipitation in hours.
- The Agly overflowed and torrents in Estagel swept away parked vehicles, as firefighters conducted dozens of interventions and two people were evacuated.
- Several roads and fords remain closed, and mayors reinforced barriers after reports of motorists removing protections to attempt dangerous crossings.
- Some towns, including Tautavel, report non-potable tap water with bottled-water distributions, even as residents note benefits for groundwater after years of drought.
