Orange Weather Alert for Heavy Rain and Flooding Continues in South-East France

Seven departments in south-east France (Gard, Ardèche, Bouches-du-Rhône, Hérault, Lozère, Var, and Corsica) remain under an orange weather alert for heavy rain, flooding, and thunderstorms. Overnight torrential rain led to evacuations and significant travel disruption, including the closure of sections of the A9 motorway. Météo-France forecasts continued heavy rain, potentially reaching 150mm in some areas, accompanied by thunderstorms, gusty winds, and a risk of hail.
