France is emerging from a heatwave that was record-breaking in both length and intensity, but already another is forecast for the start of July, so will this be as bad?
After a few days of cooling, strong heats are expected from the weekend of 4 and 5 July in the south of France and are expected to spread over a large part of the country the week of 6 July, according to Sébastien Léas, forecast engineer at Météo-France.
VIDEO - As an exceptional heat wave is just ending, France will experience "arguably a new canicule episode starting this weekend", said on Tuesday 30 June the forecaster of Météo-France Patrick Galois, without however being able to estimate its duration or intensity at this stage.
