France’s national weather service, Météo-France, announced that no departments will be under red heatwave alert on Monday, signaling an easing of the intense heat that gripped the country. However, 38 departments will remain under orange alert for heatwave or thunderstorms. Maximum temperatures between 34 and 37°C are forecast for the south of France and Corsica. The Var department is expected to experience particularly high temperatures, potentially reaching 40°C. While the extreme heat is subsiding, the risk of thunderstorms is increasing in eastern and Mediterranean regions. Authorities advise continued caution, particularly for vulnerable populations. The shift indicates a change in weather patterns, moving from prolonged heat to more localized, intense events.
