Warning of further storms: 700 mm rain in the Ardèche!
In the past few days, the south of France has suffered from massive rains, which have had serious effects on the infrastructure and daily life of people. Ten departments in the southern half of the country are under orange weather warning that alerts the population from possible floods and flood risk. However, the highest warning level, red, has now been lifted, which was emphasized by the minister for ecological change, Agnès Pannier-Runacher. During a appearance on BFMTV, she explained that the last night was less problematic than feared.The Ardèche department was hit particularly strongly. In some regions, an incredible 700 millimeter rain fell within just 48 hours, which roughly corresponds to the annual precipitation in Paris. These extreme precipitation not only increased the risk of floods, but also led to far -reaching disorders in public transport.
Current situation and public security
The minister made it clear that the population should be careful and advised to keep away from rising river courses and already blocked roads. The effects of the storms are still noticeable, especially in train traffic, where there were significant disorders. There are also closures on some highways that significantly impair the flow of traffic. In addition, the school closings on Friday caused additional stress among the families.
According to France Info, around 4,000 households were without electricity in the morning situation in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This is another example of how much the infrastructure was affected as a result of the weather conditions. While the weather warnings still exist, the authorities hope that the situation can soon stabilize.
The situation is serious, and the people in the affected regions are called to stay vigilant and to adapt to the current weather conditions. It remains to be seen how the weather situation will develop in the coming days and what other measures the government will take to ensure the safety of the citizens.
