"Anyone living and working in départements under an orange weather warning - the second highest level - is urged to be "very vigilant". "Dangerous phenomena are expected. Keep informed of developments and follow the safety advice issued by public authorities," Météo-France explains in its description of orange weather warnings on its website. During orange or red weather alerts, préfectures and town halls will use local and social media to issue regular advice and updates on staying safe based on the conditions at the time."
""A very active weather system moved up from the Mediterranean over the south of the country on Sunday, bringing significant rainfall. In the Ardèche Cévennes mountains, the precipitation eased considerably in the morning," Météo-France warned in its early morning bulletin on Monday. The forecaster said that, in the Ardèche Cévennes region, rainfall totals of 60 to 100mm, and locally up to 180 mm, were recorded in the 24 hours up to 6am on Monday."
A very active weather system moving up from the Mediterranean has produced significant rainfall, heavy snow and river flooding in parts of southern France. Météo-France issued orange alerts for six départements: Ardèche (rain and flooding), Aveyron and Tarn (snow, ice and river flooding), Hérault and Lozère (river flooding), and Var (rain and flooding). Residents and workers in orange-warning areas are urged to be very vigilant and follow public safety advice. Local authorities will use media to provide updates and activate protocols to protect vulnerable people, including opening extra shelters during cold snaps.
