After Pas-de-Calais, already with our feet in the water for several days, it is the turn of Haute-Savoie. The region was placed on red alert for floods on Tuesday and Wednesday by Météo-France due to the expected accumulations of precipitation.
In addition to Haute-Savoie, the neighboring department of Savoie is on raw orange vigilance. Météo-France expects a “serious episode in a period of significant mild weather” in these two departments. “The cumulative precipitation forecast during this episode corresponds to the monthly amounts of precipitation usually observed,” specifies the weather forecast organization.
