Watch out for Éowyn! (who is not a character in Lord of the Rings) This winter storm is indeed sweeping across Great Britain and threatening the tip of Brittany. The Morbihan department will therefore enter Orange rain-flood vigilance from 6 p.m. this Friday, according to the latest Météo-France bulletin.
“The first rains reached Brittany at the end of the night, but the episode has not yet really started, particularly in Morbihan,” noted Météo-France.

“Storm Éowyn is currently circulating over Ireland,” forecasters point out. “Over Brittany, it brings lasting and temporarily sustained rain, in particular (Friday) evening”, when the disturbance will reactivate. Météo-France is thus forecasting a “usual rainy episode for the season, but requiring particular vigilance, due to saturated soils”.
-Cumulative precipitation amounts between 20 and 40 mm are expected during this rainy episode. “The heaviest rain should stop around midnight,” Météo-France said.
Orange vigilance could be extended to other departments, in particular to those already placed on yellow “rain-flood” vigilance, warned the meteorological institute.
