| Résumé anglais |
The southern area of France regularly receives heavy Mediterranean rainfall, chiefly during the autumn in September and October. This occurs particularly over the Cévennes and to a lesser extent over the eastern Pyrenees and the department of Alpes-Maritime. Over other, generally less exposed, regions disasterous events are linked to sudden flooding. This type of episodic occurrence contrasts with normal Mediterranean rainfall ; it is short-lived associated with more intense storm activity and results in a rapid rise in water levels, with damage focused on a particular, vulnerable point.
