A heatwave alert has been issued for the period from Sunday, July 27, to Tuesday, July 29, 2026, with high temperatures expected across several regions. According to Météo-France, temperatures could reach up to 35°C in some areas, particularly in the southern and central parts of the country.
The alert, which covers multiple departments, advises residents to take precautions against the heat, including staying hydrated, avoiding outdoor activities during peak hours, and checking on vulnerable individuals. The heatwave is attributed to a high-pressure system bringing hot air from North Africa.
Local authorities have activated emergency measures, such as opening cooling centers and extending public pool hours. The heatwave is expected to peak on Monday, July 28, before gradually easing on Tuesday, July 29, with possible thunderstorms in some regions.
