Like everywhere in France, the Yonne is suffocating. The department is placed in yellow vigilance at the heat wave by Météo-France, this Friday, June 17, 2022. The temperatures will reach up to 35 degrees, especially in Auxerrois this afternoon.
The worst is yet to come this weekend
This heat wave will continue this weekend with temperatures approaching 40 degrees, tomorrow afternoon. Not to mention the next two nights which promise to be very hot with temperatures close to 20 degrees. Like what is currently happening in the southwest, where 12 departments are placed on red alert, with temperatures around 40 degrees.
The public authorities recall the gestures to protect themselves against this heat wave: close the shutters of the home, drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day, get your body wet, or even avoid taking freezing showers.
