If the cool episode is over, trips to the beach in t-shirts will certainly not be on the agenda this weekend. Météo-France announces a rainy trend from this Friday, April 26, 2024. The Cévennes and Hérault are particularly exposed.

It almost felt like summer last week but this weekend, put away the flip-flops, bring out the rain boots.

Météo-France announces an episode of heavy rain in the Mediterranean. Intense showers could follow the rains on Saturday April 27 and cause thunderstorms, explains the meteorological station.

Showers, thunderstorms

This Friday already, a first disturbance is crossing the country, entering from the west. Result: more or less intense rains throughout the territory. In the afternoon, showers and thunderstorms take precedence over the rain over a major part of France.

And this weekend?

Saturday, the rains will mainly affect the reliefs from Hérault to Ardèche, with 50 to 70%. mm which should fall, locally 100 according to Météo-France. The western half and the South-East will be under 10 to 20mm.

Sunday, the sun will still not be able to break through. A rainy front remains in place from the southwest to the northeast, continuing to water the Cévennes in particular and to a lesser extent a large area stretching from the Pyrenees to Franche-Comté. It should still fall between 30 and 50 mm between Hérault and Ardèche, locally 70, and 15 to 30 mm from the Pyrenees to Franche-Comté, Météo-France announces.

The Cévennes and their surroundings will be particularly affected by the precipitation. Since February, this is the seventh occurrence of a Cévennes episode, recalls Le Parisien. These bad weather generally occur in the fall, the occurrence of an episode in this season is exceptional, underline our colleagues.

Better next week?

The unstable weather and rains are expected to continue at the start of next week, according to Météo Express. Monday April 29, a rainy axis continues from the southwest to the Vosges with more active precipitation in the South, particularly from Roussillon to Cantal. Tuesday April 30 and Wednesday May 1, Labor Day, showers are still expected.
