According to Météo France, “this is the time of precipitation, as well as their geographical area, rather extensive,” which explains the “particular attention” given to the south-east. In the two counties placed in vigilance orange, the rain should stop in Sunday morning at 6 o’clock, which could be fear of flooding. Some of the possible consequences, reduced visibility, a traffic road hard and some of the consequences on railway transport.
