The Alps, Alpes-Maritimes, Aisne, Ardennes, Haute-Marne, Marne, Meuse, Oise, Rhône as well as the Vosges are impacted by the alerts transmitted in the latest Météo-France bulletin. This bulletin uses weather reports updated on December 26 at 5:00 a.m.
Avalanches in 6 departments
The snow cover will be very unstable in the Alps and in the Alpes-Maritimes. The snow will be wet, fresh, and spontaneous snow slides may occur. At the same time, variations in temperature and weather could accelerate the melting of snow, and nearby watercourses could react downstream, inducing possible flooding.
Flood risks in 8 departments
In addition, Météo-France services have declared a yellow level “flood” vigilance for the Aisne, the Ardennes, the Haute-Marne, the Marne, the Meuse, the Oise, the Rhône as well as the Vosges. Residents are urged to exercise caution due to the wind, accompanied by potential rain. People living near areas usually prone to flooding, such as Hurtaut, Loire and Rhône, will also need to remain vigilant.
Regarding the duration of the various current alerts, it is relatively the same across the country. These should end late evening at midnight.
Do not hesitate to consult the competent authorities in the event of an alert and listen to their advice for your safety.
