Parisians are preparing for the return of the rain, with showers forecast from Wednesday October 16 , 2024. Although ex-hurricaneLeslie, now downgraded to a low-pressure system, will not hit Paris directly, its influence will be felt through unstable weather across France.
The Île-de-France region is not expected to experience intense Mediterranean episodes like those forecast for the south of France, but regular rainfall and gusty winds are to be expected. According to Météo France, the beginning of the week will be relatively calm, before the arrival of new disturbances.
As Leslie moves up towards Europe, it interacts with the polar jet stream, shifting heavy precipitation towards the south of France, particularly in the Languedoc and Cévennes regions. These regions could experience flooding as a result of Cevennes episodes. In the Île-de-France region, the consequences will be more moderate, although some areas already flooded, such as Seine-et-Marne, should remain vigilant.
From Wednesday, regular showers and moderate wind gusts are forecast. The rains are set to last until Friday, with a gradual return to calm expected over the weekend. The situation remains evolving, and forecasts may be adjusted according to Leslie's final trajectory.
In short, although ex-hurricaneLeslie does not pose a direct threat to theParis region, the downpours to come do call for a degree of caution, particularly in areas still affected by flooding, which are likely to become clogged once again.
