| The average duration (mean) of the floods recorded since 1985 is about 9.5 days; the median duration is 5 days. There is no definite evolution in terms of flood duration since 1985. Among these data, some years seem more interesting: 1986 mean duration is influenced by a couple of long floods - On the other hand 1995 have had a proportionally high number of long flood (high median value), but the data reliability for this year needs to be improved.. | |
