Gusts up to 150 km/h
Morbihan will be at the same level of vigilance for rain-flooding from 6:00 p.m. until at least 11:00 p.m., Calvados, Ille-et-Vilaine and Mayenne have been for floods since Saturday. Météo-France downgraded Oise and Seine-Maritime to yellow alert on Sunday morning.
“Gusts of around 130 km/h on the coasts and close to 100 km/h inland are expected” in Brittany, according to the meteorological agency, which mentions a “frontal passage associated with Herminia” . “On the Breton tip, saturated soils constitute an aggravating factor,” notes Météo-France, while significant precipitation caused by storm Éowyn has already showered the region.
-In the two Pyrenean departments, gusts could reach “110 to 120 km/h in medium mountains as well as locally in valleys”. Peaks of more than 150 km/h are possible on “certain exposed ridges or passes”. Winds of “100 to 110 km/h” are expected in the Lyon region from the evening, according to Météo-France, which warns that the orange alert in the Rhône could be extended to the entire area.
High levels
Concerning the risk of flooding in Brittany, “all the tributaries of the upstream basin of the Vilaine are reacting to the rains of the previous two days. Levels will remain high on Sunday and should start to rise again due to the rain expected on Sunday,” explains the monitoring organization Vigicrues in the morning.
