The rains in October have helped improve the situation for watercourses in Savoie, which are regaining flow, and soils are beginning to rehydrate. However, western Savoie received more rain than the mountainous eastern areas.
Groundwater levels remain a concern after several months of drought. September 2026 was particularly hot and dry, with a rainfall deficit of over 60% in Savoie.
Given this situation, and despite recent precipitation, the outlook remains fragile. Forecasts do not predict significant rainfall for the next ten days.
The Savoie prefecture calls for everyone's understanding and vigilance.
