Rain and wind will continue to affect the south-east on Sunday, Hérault and Aude remaining on orange alert "rain-flood" and Aude also for "flood", according to Météo France forecasts.

The Mediterranean episode affecting the South-East will continue with sustained rains in Languedoc, in particular in Hérault where we expect another 50 to 70 mm of rain in 24 hours in the plain, with peaks of 100 or even 120 mm , 100 to 150 mm on the Cévennes relief and locally 180 mm.

The rains will persist on the Hérault

The rain-snow limit will fluctuate between 900 and 1200m during the day.

The rains will ease in Roussillon in the afternoon.

Light to moderate rain will reach Corsica and the south of Provence, in particular the Var coast.

On the Hérault, the often marked rains will persist until the evening and the following night.

A good easterly wind will accompany these Mediterranean precipitations, with gusts reaching 100 km/h on the coast, just like autan in Occitania.

Elsewhere, an ocean disturbance will sweep across the country.

Light to moderate rain will flow over the western half of the country in the morning, then shift to the east in the afternoon.

They will weaken in the evening when arriving in the northeast and the Alps.

The rain-snow limit will drop to 600 to 800m in Auvergne, rather 800 to 1,000m elsewhere, including the Pyrenees.

The weather will improve in the west

To the west, behind the rains, the weather will improve.

The sky will still be cloudy in the morning with a few scattered showers, fine clearings will develop in the afternoon on the Atlantic coast and south of the Garonne.

Over the eastern half of the country, before the arrival of the rainy front in the afternoon, the sky will be increasingly cloudy with some scattered rain

Temperatures will be quite mild.

The minimums will range from 4 to 8 degrees in general from east to west, no more than 1 to 3 from Alsace to the Alps, around 10 degrees near the Mediterranean.

The maximum will vary between 10 and 14 degrees in general, locally 15 to 17 from the plain of Alsace to the Alps.
