The flood is coming this week: on this date, the rain hits everyone

Another hectic week awaits the French. No one will escape the rain.

The rain spared no one in the first two weeks of October. The rainfall record goes to Besançon with 154 millimeters, compared to a monthly average of 111 at this time. Paris has also reached records: the capital has already recorded the equivalent of a month and a half of rain while October is not even over, according to La Chaine Météo. At this rate, October could catch up with September, which had recorded a precipitation surplus of nearly 60% nationwide.

Unfortunately, the situation is not going to improve this week. This Monday, the weather is holding up with beautiful clear spells and especially mild weather, with temperatures this afternoon between 16 and 25 degrees. A few showers will be possible in the North. The next day, the sky will already be cloudier, except in the southeast, but temperatures will remain mild, reaching 26 degrees in Biarritz.

It is on Wednesday that the situation begins to get complicated with a rise in wind from the south. The former hurricane Leslie will approach, in fact, through Portugal. This will cause thunderstorms to the west and south. The north and east will still be spared and could even see some nice clearings.

This disturbance will become global on Thursday. According to the forecasts from Météo France, the day of October 17 will be very gloomy. It will rain almost everywhere, with risks of thunderstorms in the south. Only Corsica and the surroundings of Perpignan and Strasbourg could escape it. The east and Corsica will quickly be caught up by the disturbance on Friday morning, which will also continue in the rest of the country.

The weather is therefore still looking very depressing, despite the absence of cold. La Chaine Météo even calls for vigilance for Thursday in order to “monitor the risk of flooding”, even if this will have nothing to do with see with the rains caused last week by storm Kirk.

Only small hope in perspective according to the trends Météo France : next week. "The week should be much less disturbed and rainy than the previous one. With an oceanic air mass, temperatures should be generally mild for the season", according to the site. However, these forecasts are still to confirm.
