Evolution prévue :
FORTES PLUIES ET ORAGES: Hérault, Gard, Lozère: Sur ces départements, mercredi, les pluies vont très progressivement prendre de l'ampleur et se renforcer. Dans un 1er temps, c'est sur les pentes sud du Massif Central, de l'Espinouse aux Cévennes que les cumuls attendus seront les plus importants atteignant entre mardi et mercredi matin 100 à 120 mm. Ces pluies durent une grande partie de la journée de mercredi et le cumul sur les Cévennes mercredi soir atteint 200 à 250 mm pour l'ensemble de l'épisode. Sur la plaine languedocienne du Gard et de l'Hérault les pluies faibles jusqu'à mercredi matin s'intensifient et deviennent orageuses mercredi tout au long de la journée. Certains orages seront forts, durables et accompagnés de fortes intensités pluvieuses. Les cumuls attendus peuvent atteindre 120 à 150 mm en quelques heures. L'ensemble de ces orages s'éloignent mercredi soir. Var et Bouches du Rhône: Les pluies marquées débutent en milieu de journée de mercredi. Elles se renforcent et deviennent orageuses dans l'après-midi et dans la nuit suivante de mercredi à jeudi. Le cumul attendu est en général de 60 à 80 mm, 100 à 120 mm sous les orages les plus forts.

The 06.00 weather alert forecast for today remains the same.

We had showers during the night, but nothing serious.

The Vidourle level is unchanged for Sommieres and North, but has gone up slightly south of Gallargues le Montueux.

The normal forecast was rain Wed & Thur but has now changed to Early showers Wed (storms in Cevennes pm) then cloudy with sunny intervals for Thur.

Wind in Montpellier loud enough to wake me up last night (well, at least it wasn't the neighbors this time...), and periodic drenching rain. It sounds as if there's been some damage from the wind, but I haven't ventured out to check.

20 mm rain so far, but getting harder now.

River alerts still yellow for East Languedoc, but little increase in level or "debits" so far.

Orange alert lifted for Herault & Lozere, continues for Gard (+ Bouches de Rhone and Var).

Rivers still on yellow alert, but no sign of flooding yet.

The alert has been lifted and the area is now "yellow".

All the LR rivers are back to green

The Vidourle level increased by 25cm and started to go down around 01.00 this morning.

Since 2002, the alerts tend to err on the cautious side ?
