France recorded its third day of heat wave, Friday June 17, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees in the south-west of the country.
With more than 40 degrees in places in France, it’s a historic heat wave for the month of June. In Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), the thermometer reached 39.6°C on Friday June 17. A record in June. On Capitol Square, the temperature surprises even a Colombian tourist. To cool off, everyone does what they can: fan, ice cream or watermelon. In Castres (Tarn), where it was 39°C, the stifling heat came to spoil the party. Indeed, the Top 14 semi-final will not be broadcast in the evening outdoors, as planned, due to high temperatures.
In La Roche-sur-Yon (Vendée), where the thermometer reached 37°C, as in the other departments in heatwave red vigilance, the class was not compulsory today for children. Compulsory cap, water games, fogger: the program has been completely redesigned to avoid any discomfort. France is recording the earliest heat wave ever recorded since 1947. The peak is expected on Saturday June 18 and should finally drop from Sunday June 19.
