North of the Loire, in Saumur, we are not used, especially for fragile people, to supporting such temperatures.
A sweltering, scorching sun. At 9 a.m., it is already 24°C in Saumur (Maine et Loire). As early in the season is an unprecedented situation for the department. In his vines, Alban Foucher is already noticing the consequences of the climate. “We start to see the damage when we start to have leaves that curl up, dry up, turn brown”he explains. Some bunches of grapes do not resist, some are thus less filled. In the plots, the seasonal workers are in a hurry to finish.
German and Dutch tourists decided to take advantage of the freshness very early this morning. At the Communal Center for Social Action (CCAS)sixty people are called one by one. Most fragile between them are going receive visits from Red Cross volunteers. Saturday June 18, the heat peak is expected. It will be up to 41°C.
