Morbihan Stays on Orange Flood Alert as Finistère Downgraded to Yellow

Forecasters warn new rainfall early week could renew or worsen flooding on saturated catchments.

Overview

  • Météo France keeps only Morbihan under orange flood vigilance on Sunday and lowers Finistère to yellow, with several other western departments also on yellow alert.
  • The Oust is experiencing a significant flood in Morbihan, with peaks expected at Josselin in the morning and at Malestroit late afternoon and a risk of notable overflows.
  • Vigicrues notes some sectors are already receding while others face moderate to major floods, with a general lull anticipated across Brittany today.
  • Authorities previously highlighted the Laïta and Blavet basins for important flooding, reflecting how saturated ground has amplified river responses in recent days.
  • Rain is forecast to return from late Sunday and persist into midweek, creating the possibility of a renewed deterioration in river conditions.
