France is battling wildfires and a severe heatwave, with 64 departments remaining on orange alert until Sunday morning. As of today, 1,650 hectares have been destroyed by flames, particularly in Belgium. Météo-France reports a developing thunderstorm system and cooler oceanic air moving in from the west, offering potential relief. Despite this, the heatwave continues to pose significant risks. The situation remains tense as firefighters work to contain the blazes and authorities advise the public to take precautions against the heat. The approaching storm system may bring localized heavy rainfall but is not expected to provide widespread respite immediately.
