Creteil sits in the Paris metropolitan region along the Seine river basin, where a temperate oceanic climate keeps rainfall fairly moderate and evenly spread across the year.
Southeast of Paris on the Marne River, the city tracks the Marne’s level, which can rise alongside the Seine during major regional floods. The Seine’s slow, gradual response to rainfall means river flooding here typically develops over days rather than hours, as seen in the major floods of 2016 and 2018, though intense summer storms can still cause rapid local street flooding.
