Depression Ingrid, which caused intense rains, strong winds, and flooding in Brittany, is losing intensity on Saturday, but flood risks persist due to saturated soils. Orange flood alerts remain in place for Finistère, Morbihan, and Ille-et-Vilaine. In Quimperlé, a very slow decline is expected after a new flood peak.
