The rain will accompany the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron on his field visit to Mayotte. Météo France announces that the island is placed on yellow alert for heavy rain and thunderstorms.
While Mayotte is still in the cyclone protection phase, five days after the passage of cyclone Chido, Météo France announces that the island is placed on yellow vigilance for Heavy Rain and Thunderstorms until the end of the afternoon, this Thursday, December 19 .
President Emmanuel Macron’s plane landed on a wet runway mid-morning at Petite-Terre airport.
Enough to take stock of the daily life of the Mahorais, who in the middle of December, after having already paid a heavy price with Chido, must prepare to face the rainy season which runs until April.
Following the heavy rain warning, the Mayotte prefecture calls on the population to exercise caution. Advice that resonates in a very particular way in the apocalyptic atmosphere that still prevails there.
“Do not cross on foot or by car ravines or rivers which are flooded or which may be flooded, as well as submerged riffles.“, recommends in particular the prefectural authority. “Keep children away from gullies and rivers“, “Report (your movements) to your loved ones”, “Make the work of rescuers easier“…And finally”Stay informed on official networks“…
