Orange vigilance in Morbihan: the Herminia storm strikes Brittany

This Sunday, January 26, 2025, Morbihan is placed in vigilance by Météo due to the increased risks of rain, floods and strong winds. The Herminia storm, which currently crosses France, imposes reinforced caution until Monday evening throughout Breton territory.

Violent winds expected this night

Wind gusts reaching 110 km/h are planned in Morbihan last night. The winds, south to southwest, will generally blow between 80 and 90 km/h, with localized points which can temporarily exceed 100 km/h. A temporary lull is expected in the second half of the night, but the day on Monday will be marked again by sustained winds.

Forecasts and risk areas

According to Météo France, the cumulative rain planned on Finistère and Côtes-d'Armor remain moderate, but their impact could be amplified by soils already saturated with water. Vigilance in these departments could therefore evolve according to the intensity of precipitation and gusts.

The situation in Morbihan is particularly worrying, especially in the usually floodable areas. Residents of these sectors are invited to take preventive measures to minimize risks.
