Leon,

The Mediterranean coast can get serious amount of rain even normally where 
the storm sewers overflows. Happened to me while cycling along coast near 
Nice. The current flood is a bit unusual though.

We just finished cycling in the Languedoc area north of Toulouse and flying 
back to Canada. We experienced cold rain and just missed the hail around 
Villefranche. First time we?ve seen hail in southern France in about 10 
trips. Not the first time we got rained on though.

In other word, bring some rain wear and a warm jacket but I wouldn?t worry 
about it too much. If you have an iPhone, the French meteorology service has 
an app called ?Meteo France? which will provide weather forecast for even 
the smallest towns.

Regards,
Spencer
