The Alpes-Maritimes has been placed on a red alert for extreme weather, prompting the complete suspension of all regional TER train services from 5:30pm on Thursday 17th October. The highest weather warning, issued due to severe storms and heavy rainfall, is in effect from 6pm, with the risk of significant flooding expected across the region.
The decision to halt train services in the Alpes Maritimes and Monaco is a precautionary measure as authorities prepare for the potential disruption caused by intense rainfall. Travelers are urged to stay informed and check for updates on the SNCF TER SUD PACA website and the Monaco Monte-Carlo station’s real-time schedule, as the situation remains subject to change.
With public transport impacted, carpooling is being encouraged as an alternative means of travel. Platforms such as BlaBlaCar Daily are offering flexible, government-supported solutions to help passengers between Monaco and other destinations. Travelers are also advised to use the SNCF app and Twitter for up-to-date information on transport options during the red alert.
The public is reminded to remain cautious, avoid non-essential travel, and follow official guidance as this severe weather system continues to affect the region.
