Only one department is now on orange alert for the risk of flooding: Gironde. It is the Garonne-Dordogne confluence which is under surveillance this Saturday. “Tidal coefficients reached their maximum on Friday (112) and will remain high this Saturday (111 morning, 108 in the afternoon). Significant overflows are expected in the areas of Bordeaux on the open sea this Saturday afternoon. In Libourne, moderate overflows are expected,” specifies Vigicrues.
The Landes and Pyrénées-Atlantiques, affected by heavy rainfall on Thursday and Friday, were downgraded to yellow vigilance by Météo-France this Saturday morning.
“The new Atlantic disturbance brings rainy weather to the western coast in the morning,” specifies Météo-France for Saturday. The disturbances will then shift eastwards and should lose intensity. In the afternoon, the rains should weaken in the west of France.
“Clearances manage to develop from behind the Atlantic coast to the English Channel,” specifies Météo-France. The sun could return on Saturday afternoon, as could dry weather across the country, although with showers in the North-East.
On Sunday, the sun should reach a majority of the southern part of the country, with temperatures which could rise up to 23° in the South-West.
