Be careful, the Kirk depression will hit the Essonne department. In fact Météo France has placed 14 departments, including Essonne, on orange alert for a risk of “rain-floods”, from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. this Wednesday, October 9, 2024.

Wind gusts up to 60 km/h

According to Météo France, continuous and sustained rains, associated with depression Kirkwill concern the regions extending from Vendée and the Pays de Loire to the Paris region.

“The accumulations over the whole day will be very significant, they could reach 40 to 60 mm in the Paris basin and 60 to 80 mm, or even locally 90 mm heading towards the Pays de Loire and Vendée. These are quantities which usually fall off within a month. This precipitation will occur in a context of already very wet soils and could therefore cause flooding,” Météo France even specifies in a bulletin published this Tuesday, October 8.

Also note that gusts of wind that can reach up to 60 km/h are expected tomorrow in the department.

The repercussions of the passage of the Kirk depression should fade this Thursday, October 10. The rain will still remain present throughout the day with some clearings.
