Overview
- Vigicrues reports an exceptional crest of about 3.55–3.57 m at Agde on Monday night, reaching levels comparable to 1994–1995, with high waters stabilizing on Tuesday.
- Météo-France maintains the red warning for the Hérault’s lower basin while Tarn, Aveyron and Lozère remain on orange vigilance for floods, with snow–ice alerts in Tarn and Aveyron due to lift by late morning.
- Emergency services logged roughly 1,700 calls in 24 hours in Hérault and carried out 80 operations including 47 rescues, with six families sheltered in Agde and no casualties reported.
- Power cuts affect about 30,000 customers in Aveyron after heavy snow and roughly 3,000 in Hérault, as Montpellier keeps tram sections and public sites closed following 100–130 mm of rain.
- Rainfall has weakened and rain–inundation alerts have been downgraded, but authorities warn that persistent high flows and difficult road conditions keep the flood risk significant.
