The rains of recent days continue to overflow some rivers. The Landes and the Pyrénées-Atlantiques thus remain this Monday afternoon in “flood” red Vigilance, Météo-France announced at 4 pm. Ariège, Haute-Garonne and Hautes-Pyrénées (on red alert since Sunday), for their part, are back in orange vigilance “floods” or “rain-floods”. Still in the South-West, Lot-et-Garonne, Tarn-et-Garonne and Gers are on orange alert.

In addition, the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, the Hautes-Pyrénées, the Haute-Garonne, the Ariège, the Pyrénées-Orientales (and Andorra) remain on “avalanche” orange vigilance. Large avalanches are indeed likely to occur in the most heavily loaded high mountain corridors. They may reach lower altitudes and threaten the infrastructure of winter sports resorts.

In the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, school transport to schools and colleges in the Aspe and Ossau valleys, and to high schools in Pau, Mauléon and Oloron-Sainte-Marie from these areas, were canceled on Monday. The prefecture also has “not recommended” parents to take their children to school and called to “limit” trips “at the bare minimum” in these valleys on Monday. Train traffic between Oloron-Sainte-Marie and Bedous was suspended on Monday.

Association Weather-Pyrenees specifies in a tweet published on Sunday evening that “several hundred vehicles were stranded at l’Hospitalet towards the Puymorens tunnel “ on the snowy road.

The alert is valid until Tuesday, 4 p.m.
