Météo-France services have issued an orange alert for the Gard department, effective from this Monday, October 19, at 2:00 PM, concerning rain-flooding, storms, and floods. A red alert is potentially foreseen.
This pluvial-stormy episode, present since yesterday, is expected to intensify during the day and affect the entire department, including Le Grau du Roi. The storms could be particularly violent, with a high risk of swirling phenomena, especially from the coast to the plains.
As a precautionary measure due to the weather conditions, Imagi’Mômes activities are suspended for the rest of the day. Parents are invited to pick up their children at the early childhood center as long as the alert level permits. In case of worsening situation and a move to red alert, access may become impossible.
The Prefecture recommends limiting travel to what is strictly necessary, never crossing submersible bridges or closed or flooded roads, and staying away from watercourses. It is advisable to stay informed about the evolving situation and follow the authorities' instructions. It is also recommended to avoid parking under trees due to the risk of falling branches from strong winds.
Roads such as Avenue de Camargue will be inaccessible in case of flooding.
