heavy stormy rain this Sunday in Hérault, Gard and the Cévennes

The Cévennes episode which began this Saturday on the reliefs continues this Sunday April 28 on the east Of Occitania, while gaining other geographic sectors. here are the weather forecast.

This Saturday, the rains affected, as expected, only the relief areas. This Sunday, the weather situation is changing. Precipitation is widespread throughout the Languedoc. They concern the coast as well as the plains or the Cevennes. This precipitation is sometimes heavy and locally stormy. They continue to copiously water the reliefs, where the accumulations of rain will become significant in 48 hours. Of the order of 100 to 150mm even locally up to 180/200 mm by the end of Sunday evening, in the heart of Cevennes relief.

In the plains of Gard and Hérault, nice watering in sight as well. We expect rainfall totals close to 20 to 50mm (loc. 60 mm) between Montpellier And Nimes, as well as in Gardonnenque, along the Vidourle and near Pic Saint-Loup. As announced in a previous weather reportthese rains will be sandy due to the presence of a cloud of Sahara sand. It will be necessary to monitor the reactions of the Cévennes watercourses. Indeed, floods are expected at the level of Let’s keepof the Cèzeof Héraultof Vidourle and of their tributaries.

Fordings and submersible bridges to avoid on Sunday

Fordings and submersible bridges could be, for some, impassable. This particularly on Sunday at the end of the day as well as during the night from Sunday to Monday. Stay informed of the state of the roads in Gard by consulting inforoute30.fr. Also be careful by the sea. The sea wind will raise a strong swell with waves reaching 2 to 3 meters. There is a risk of marine submersion in the very vulnerable areas of the Hérault coast (Palavas and Frontignan in particular).

The bad weather is not going to stop. Indeed, a Mediterranean episode will take over between Monday, Tuesday and next Wednesday. We are once again expecting significant amounts of rain, both on the plains and on the hills this time, between the Roussillon and the Languedoc.
