On Monday, officials reported that La Loire-Atlantique, Charente-Maritime, and Maine-et-Loire are under a red alert due to exceptional flooding from early 2026, with rising water levels posing a significant threat to the local populace. Other departments, such as Sarthe, Vendée, and Charente, have been downgraded to orange alert, indicating a slight easing of the situation, yet caution remains necessary as conditions continue to be monitored closely.

In Angers, water levels stabilized over the weekend, but authorities warn that the decline will be slow. The prefecture stated that peak flooding levels were hit late in the night and during Sunday morning, leading to increased emergency measures as residents are urged to stay vigilant. The impact of the floods is compounding concerns for infrastructure and safety in these affected areas, as communities prepare for possible evacuations and further assessments.

As the situation develops, Météo-France continues to provide updates and predictions, which are critical for local authorities and residents alike. The prolonged nature of the flooding raises significant concerns about local resources and the long-term recovery efforts needed in the aftermath of these exceptional weather conditions.
