On this Tuesday, January 28, France is facing a meteorological episode marked by the passage of storm Herminia, which is causing major disruption across the country. While Brittany departments such as Ille-et-Vilaine, Loire-Atlantique and Morbihan have been placed on red alert for flooding, the repercussions are being felt as far afield as Ile-de-France , where two departments have been placed on yellow alert.
The region is currently experiencing sustained precipitation and gusty winds, reflecting the influence of this low-pressure system centered over England. Added to this is the announcement of a new low-pressure system, christened IVO, expected by mid-week. Expected to be around 2,000 km off the French coast, it could intensify rainy and windy conditions, particularly on Wednesday and Thursday.
Particularly unstable weather conditions are calling for vigilance, while some areas of the region are already seeing hundreds of residents evacuated due to flooding. In the Île-de-France region, although the situation remains under control, it is a reminder of the importance of monitoring weather conditions over the coming days.
