On May 25, 2026, Météo-France placed 13 departments under yellow heatwave vigilance (vigilance jaune canicule) due to rising temperatures. The alert covers parts of southern and central France, including regions such as Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Occitanie.
Temperatures are forecast to reach up to 35°C in some areas, with the heat expected to persist for several days. Authorities advise residents to stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activities during peak heat hours, and check on vulnerable individuals.
This is the first heatwave alert of the season in France. The yellow level indicates moderate risk, requiring caution but not immediate danger. Météo-France continues to monitor the situation and may update the alert levels as conditions evolve.
