"Heavy rains in the previous days have caused the water level to rise in the Odet river and its tributaries, located in the southwest of the Finistère département in Brittany. The area has been placed on orange level flood alert for Friday and Saturday. Delays and cancelled stops on some SNCF lines Due to flooding on Thursday, as the department was under orange alert for rain and flooding, some disruptions remain on the SNCF train network this Friday morning."
"Replacement buses are running between Dirinon and Landerneau, and train service on this line will not resume until at least 4pm. TER trains from Nantes to Brest will change their terminus and stop in Quimper. Slight delays of 5 to 10 minutes are also expected on several TER lines. Other rivers in the Finistère have also been placed on yellow alert for Friday. The Aulne and Laïta rivers are under surveillance."
"The area has been placed on orange level flood alert for Friday and Saturday. Although significant, the floods should recede easily "in the absence of further rainfall, the subsequent decline in water levels will not be hindered" states flood risk information service Vigicrues, which also highlights "favourable sea conditions, with very low tidal coefficients", meaning that the floodwaters will be able to drain into the sea without any issues."
Météo-France warned of significant flooding in Brittany after heavy rains raised water levels in the Odet river in southwest Finistère. The area was placed on orange-level flood alert for Friday and Saturday. Flooding caused delays and cancelled stops on some SNCF lines; replacement buses run between Dirinon and Landerneau. TER trains from Nantes will terminate in Quimper and slight delays are expected on several TER lines. Vigicrues says that, in the absence of further rainfall and with very low tidal coefficients, water levels should decline and drain to the sea. The Aulne and Laïta rivers are on yellow alert.
