An avalanche level that occurs every five years

Like Corrèze, Cantal and Puy-de-Dôme, Aveyron is also placed in orange “rain-flood” vigilance.

The Isère is placed in orange “avalanche” vigilance.

In its 4 pm bulletin, Météo France warns that “significant flooding is possible”.

The transport and electricity networks could be affected, according to the organization.

In Isère, the risk of an avalanche is very high, Météo France citing a "phenomenon occurring on average once every 5 years or so".

Be careful on the Belledonne, Oisans and Grandes Rousses massifs.

In the Massif Central and more particularly Aveyron, Cantal, Corrèze and Puy-de-Dôme placed in orange vigilance, the next night the rains will become more sustained and remain so until the end of the day on Monday.

The rain / snow limit will remain at 1,600 / 1,700 m.

The snowmelt will add to the rains, at least below 1,000 / 1,200 m.

Locally, accumulations in 24 hours of 50 to 80 mm are expected, locally 70 to 100 mm, in particular in Cantal.

These rains will occur on already soggy soils, and flow into fairly loaded rivers.

On Monday, the weather will be rainy in the south of the Loire, and snowy in the Alps and the Pyrenees, according to Météo-France.

It will snow in large quantities above 1,500 m in general during the day, then 2,000 m in the evening with the new disturbance.
