<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\u26a0\ufe0f\"<\/span>\"\ud83c\udf27\ufe0f\"<\/span>However, further precipitation is forecast for the upper Cantons during the afternoon, which should be accompanied by thundery rain that could cause run-off as well as flooding of the Orb.

Update - Saturday 12 March 2022 - 3.30pm<\/strong><\/span><\/span>

The rain has not stopped, but the streams are playing their drainage role perfectly for the time being. Regular cleaning and maintenance are bearing fruit. As for the Orb, it is continuing to rise, but nothing to worry about for the moment.<\/div>\n
The roads are very wet, so be careful of the risk of aquaplaning if you have to get behind the wheel.<\/div>\n
We will keep you informed if the situation deteriorates in the coming hours.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
