This Wednesday, January 8, the department of Maine-et-Loire was placed on yellow alert for wind, rain and floods by Météo France. Neighboring territories are also on yellow alert. Indre-et-Loire on alert for rain and flooding, Vienne for a risk of flooding and Deux-Sèvres for wind, rain and floods, floods and storms. “A disturbance gives continuous and quite marked rain from Normandy, Brittany and the Pays de Loire to the Alps, Burgundy-Franche-Comté and Alsace in the morning. In the afternoon, rainy weather continues over the northern third of the country and also affects the ocean coast. The wind strengthens over the hours and sweeps across a large northern half as well as New Aquitaine, with gusts reaching 60 to 70 km/h locally 80 km/h”indicates Météo France. Vigilance is therefore required, particularly on the roads, due to possible falling branches and electrical wires. As for floods, the Angevin rivers are still green for the moment. Le Thouet is nevertheless placed on yellow alert at Thouars and is currently seeing its level rise.
