On the 6 October, l’Hérault in south-western France locally got 260 mm in a couple of hours. Observations and comparison between models from MeteoFrance can be found here: comportement_modeles_pluies_herault_20141006_short.ppt (From MeteoFrance).
The plot below shows the observed 24-hour percipitation from the EFAS network (6 October 06z - 7 October 06z). It seems like we did not get any observations from the narrow band of very high precipitation rates.
The plots above shows the HRES forecast for 6 Oct 00z (left) and 5 Oct 12z (right). As seen in the report from MeteoFrance, the band of very high precipitation rates are missing.
