The meteorological agency Météo-France has placed two departments in the south of France on orange rain-flood vigilance for the day of this Sunday, January 19.
The inhabitants of the Isle of Beauty will have to remain on their guard. Météo-France has placed two departments on orange alert for the risk of rain-flooding this Sunday.
Haute-Corse and Corse-du-Sud are thus targeted by this alert which has been running since this Saturday.
In this vein, Météo-France announced an “episode of heavy rain” in the east of the island. “It is the duration of the sustained rains as well as their fairly extensive geographical area, more than their occasional intensity which makes this event an event requiring very particular vigilance,” explained the meteorologists.

On the coastal side, stormy precipitation is also expected. During the night from Saturday to Sunday, these will continue “in a fairly strong continuous manner” during the day on Sunday.
-“On the eastern slopes and the summits of the central relief, the expected accumulations reach 150 to 220 millimeters by Sunday evening, in the form of snow above 1,500 meters,” Météo-France also specified. Between 40 and 60 millimeters, locally 80 millimeters of accumulations are also expected on the coast and coastal plains.
The meteorological agency finally indicated that “these rains will move away at the end of the day” this Sunday.
