Caution is required for the days to come with the arrival of a Mediterranean episode.
Significant rainfall is expected this mid-week in the south of France. A Cévennes episode is set up from this Tuesday evening, indicates the Weather Channel on 150 to 300 mm of water could then fall and even up to 400 mm in the Cévennes.
From Tuesday to Thursday, a stormy deterioration will give rise to significant amounts of rain, mainly in the south-east of France. In certain regions, this rain will fall on already saturated soils.

The weather forecast for this Tuesday is already marked by a strong southeast wind which brings up a moist Mediterranean air and particularly mild temperatures. This Autan wind will blow from 70 to 90 km/h in the morning, up to 100 km/h in the afternoon on the Montagne Noire, Lauragais, and 50 to 70 km/h in the Toulouse region. The east wind is also strong on the Var coast, at 50 to 70 km/h. In the Pyrenees, it is in the southern sector, 70 to 80 km/h then 80 to 100 from midday.

Ex-Hurricane Leslie, now a tropical depression, also brings very heavy rain between Spain and Portugal.
