A heatwave alert has been issued for the period from Monday to Wednesday, with temperatures expected to soar. According to Météo-France, the peak of the heatwave will occur on Tuesday, with maximum temperatures ranging from 30°C to 35°C in affected areas.
The alert covers several departments in the south and center of France. Authorities recommend staying hydrated, avoiding outdoor activities during the hottest hours, and checking on vulnerable individuals.
This heatwave is attributed to a high-pressure system over the Mediterranean, bringing hot air from North Africa. Similar conditions have been observed in previous years, but this event is notable for its early timing in June.
