The heat returns to France on Wednesday. A fourth heatwave hits the country after ten days of near-normal temperatures for this time of year. The French have only enjoyed a brief respite since the start of this summer, marked by three heatwaves in less than two months.
This new heatwave is expected to be less severe than previous ones. Temperatures will remain high, but the duration and intensity appear to be shorter. The country had experienced three consecutive heatwaves that placed significant strain on prevention and alert systems.
A less violent episode
Southwest France is facing a massive wildfire. The flames threaten the region as weather conditions favor the fire's spread. This situation serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with the intense heat waves that have been increasingly common in the region this summer.
