France recorded its hottest September day ever, weather authorities said Monday. On Tuesday, the maximum is expected to be homogeneous with 30 to 34°C over almost the whole country.

Summer may be technically over but that hasn't stopped France from experiencing an unusually late heatwave, with an unprecedented 39°C in the center-west recorded on Monday and peaks of 35 or 36°C still expected on Tuesday in the center and southwest of the country.
