A heatwave is impacting France, with 53 departments under orange alert. Approximately 150 schools have been closed in response to the high temperatures, and oral baccalaureate exams for 4,000 candidates have been postponed. Temperatures are expected to reach 38°C along the French Riviera and 36-37°C in Paris. While the heat is forecast to subside slightly on Saturday in the north of the country, it is predicted to intensify again on Sunday. Authorities have confirmed that the Fête de la Musique (music festival) will proceed as planned despite the heat. The situation is being closely monitored as the heatwave continues to affect a large portion of the country.
