Météo-France placed the Aude, Hérault and Pyrénées-Orientales on yellow rain-flood and storm vigilance, with up to 200 mm of rain possible locally. A viral video showed a high school north of Montpellier flooded, while forecasters said a remarkable Mediterranean rain episode in the south-east was ending Thursday.
