This Saturday afternoon, “on the departments in orange, we reach 34 to 38 ° C, and we are punctually approached the 40 ° C near the Mediterranean”, adds the Meteorological Institute. The night from Saturday to Sunday will be “stifling with around 20 degrees over a large southern half of the country, 22 to 25 degrees in the south-eastern quarter of France, and near the Mediterranean up to 26 degrees, even a little more punctually”.
On Sunday, it will be between 30 and 35 ° C in Île-de-France, 34 to 38 ° C on the southern two-thirds of the country. The 39 to 40 ° C will be “regularly reached near the Mediterranean”.
This “scorching episode” should gradually extend to the north and last at least until Tuesday. “It is too early to detail the exit,” said Météo-France.
