Severe Rainfall and Flood Risks in Northwest France

The passage of Storm Ashley brings significant precipitation to Brittany and the Northwest, prompting flood warnings.

  • Fourteen departments in Northwest France are under yellow weather vigilance due to heavy rain and potential flooding.
  • Storm Ashley, which affected Ireland and the UK, is causing intense rainfall in regions bordering the English Channel, particularly Brittany.
  • Rainfall in affected areas could reach up to 60mm, equivalent to several weeks' worth of precipitation in just hours.
  • While the rest of France enjoys mild and sunny weather, the Northwest faces persistent rain and strong winds.
  • Conditions are expected to improve by Tuesday as high-pressure systems bring drier weather, but another disturbance is anticipated by the end of the week.
