Overview
- Météo-France and Vigicrues keep Finistère under orange vigilance for flooding on the Odet and its tributaries, with the alert set to remain in place into Saturday.
- Thursday’s intense rainfall over waterlogged soils flooded parts of Plougonvelin, Crozon/Morgat and the Morlaix–Landerneau area, leading to more than 230 firefighter interventions.
- Emergency actions included evacuating at least four people, cutting power to about 200 customers for safety and managing road closures and regional rail delays near Landerneau.
- Authorities advise avoiding travel in low-lying areas, staying clear of waterways and never driving through flooded roads, with limited spillover into Morbihan not ruled out.
- A separate Mediterranean episode is starting from Friday through early next week with 100–200 mm of rain expected and locally 250–300 mm in the Cévennes, Aude, Pyrénées-Orientales and eastern Corsica, along with strong easterly winds and mountain snow.
