Southeastern France is experiencing a persistent and unrelenting heatwave that began in May, with temperatures reaching 36°C inland and in the Var plains. Brief periods of relief have been scarce, leaving residents feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. The prolonged high temperatures are causing significant discomfort and are reminiscent of the restrictions experienced during Covid-19 lockdowns, according to locals. The ongoing heat is pushing the population to its limits as the situation continues with no immediate end in sight. Authorities have not yet issued widespread warnings, but concerns are growing over potential health impacts. This persistent heatwave raises questions about the region’s preparedness for increasingly frequent and intense summer temperatures.
