In these four departments, the disruptions should begin on Sunday evening, around 10 p.m. They were also placed on orange alert for the day on Monday. An event which could have consequences with a “reaction of watercourses and locally mudslides, even landslides”.

Concerning Deux-Sèvres, where Météo France envisages risks of flooding, “overflows will be locally damaging.”
