Following an assessment, Météo-France has lifted the orange rain-flood alert. However, potential rainfall is forecast for the end of the day, though it is not expected to warrant a new specific meteorological alert. Nevertheless, given the current water levels and road conditions, the situation remains fragile. The City urges everyone to exercise extreme caution and recommends limiting travel to what is strictly necessary.
Several road routes are currently impassable. The road to Candillargues is impassable from the town's exit, as is the road to Lunel. The D66, in front of the Arena, is closed to traffic, with numerous abandoned vehicles on the lanes. The link between Mauguio and Carnon is also impossible.
The airport remains accessible via the D189 or the ZAC Fréjorgues Est – Aéroport link, at the Banquière roundabout. For any difficulties related to the bad weather, the Mauguio Carnon Municipal Police can be reached at 04 67 29 22 22.
The City encourages residents to take a civic action to limit damage: clear leaves or debris obstructing drains and gutters near their homes, if it can be done safely. This action can help facilitate rainwater runoff. Mobilization and solidarity are precious, but one should never intervene if conditions pose a danger.
Despite the lifting of the orange alert, the situation remains delicate. The City requests that travel be limited, that closures and diversions be respected, and that one never drive onto a flooded road. Municipal services remain mobilized and invite the public to follow future official information.
