Be careful on the Isle of Beauty. Haute-Corse and Corse-du-Sud will be placed on orange rain-flood alert from this Saturday evening, Météo France announced in the morning, due to the Gabri depression which will hit the southern and eastern facades from Corsica.
“The rain-storm degradation will affect the south of the island late Saturday afternoon before extending to a large eastern half of the island during the night from Saturday to Sunday and Sunday,” said the meteorological organization in its bulletin published this Saturday at 6 a.m.
“Sometimes stormy” rain
Southern Corsica will be placed on orange rain-flood alert on Saturday at 8 p.m., and Haute-Corse at 10 p.m. Météo France indicates that the precipitation will begin to “increase” and will be “sometimes stormy on the coast” of Southern Corsica at the end of the afternoon.
-These rains will spread “during the night from Saturday to Sunday” in Haute-Corse then will strengthen “continuously quite strongly over the east of the entire island during the day on Sunday”, continues the forecaster. .
On the eastern slopes and the summits of the central relief, the expected cumulative rainfall should reach between 150 and 220 mm by Sunday evening, in the form of snow above 1,500 m altitude, according to Météo France. The expected accumulations on the coast would rather be 40 to 60 mm, locally 80 mm, adds the institute. The rains should move away at the end of the day this Sunday, he concludes.
