# Pas-de-Calais: vigilance and floods after storms Austen and Boelo > After storm Austen, Pas-de-Calais was kept under yellow alert and then placed under orange rain‑flood alert on 24 October. Storm Boelo then placed 59 departments under alert, including Paris and Île‑de‑France, while Pas‑de‑Calais remained orange and Bas‑Rhin was placed under yellow wind alert. On 25 October, depression Boelo left more than 17,000 households without electricity in Finistère and caused the closure of four roads. Finistère was then the only department under yellow violent wind alert for Monday 26 October, before a gradual return of sunshine and a drop in temperatures the following week. In Montreuillois, the president of CA2BM announced that authorisation had been obtained to clear ditches in the context of the floods. **In brief**: Closed story bringing together 10 events in 15 departments (Pas-de-Calais, Finistère, Côtes-d'Armor and 12 more), followed from 24 October 2026 to 28 October 2026. 31 articles from 15 sources (weather, disaster, environment); last updated on 28 October 2026 at 16:38. - Status: closed - Category: Weather, Disaster, Environment - Place: Pas-de-Calais, Finistère, Côtes-d'Armor, Ille-et-Vilaine, Morbihan, Bas-Rhin, Paris, Seine-Maritime, Seine-et-Marne, Yvelines, Essonne, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, Val-de-Marne, Val-d'Oise - First detected: 24 October 2026 at 07:30 - Updated: 28 October 2026 at 16:38 - Web page: https://acturadar.com/en/stories/29-pas-de-calais-vigilance-and-floods-after-storms-austen-and-boelo ## Coverage angles Both sides cover the same storm and weather alert episodes, but the centre places greater emphasis on material consequences and local actors, while the right focuses on departmental alerts and forecasts of a return to calm. **Common ground** - Storms Austen and Boelo follow one another and affect several departments. - Pas‑de‑Calais is placed or maintained under orange rain‑flood alert. - Weather alerts concern many departments, with varying levels depending on the day. **Differences** - The centre highlights power cuts, road closures and the consequences for residents, elements that are less detailed in the right‑hand excerpts. - The centre reports a local agreement on ditch clearing or retention basin clearing in Montreuillois, an angle absent from the right‑hand excerpts. - The right develops the weather forecasts for the following week, notably the return of sunshine and the drop in temperatures, an angle absent from the centre excerpts. ## Timeline (10 events) ### 24 October 2026 — [Crues : le Pas-de-Calais maintenu en vigilance jaune](https://acturadar.com/en/events/236-crues-le-pas-de-calais-maintenu-en-vigilance-jaune.md) Après le passage de la tempête Austen, Météo-France maintient un département en vigilance jaune, le Pas-de-Calais, où plusieurs cours d'eau menacent de déborder. 1 sources, 1 articles · Pas-de-Calais ### 24 October 2026 — [Pas-de-Calais : vigilance orange pluie-inondation, succession de tempêtes](https://acturadar.com/en/events/199-pas-de-calais-vigilance-orange-pluie-inondation-succession-de-tempetes.md) Le Pas-de-Calais est maintenu en vigilance orange par Météo-France pour un risque de pluie-inondation ce dimanche.
