As the 2024 Paris Games are underway, a significant heatwave is set to impact France this week, originating from a hot air mass moving in from Spain. The national meteorological department has issued orange heat warnings for 39 locations, with Wednesday expected to be the peak of the heatwave.
Temperatures across the country are forecasted to soar well above average, with both high and low temperatures reaching unprecedented levels. In Paris and the surrounding region, maximum temperatures are expected to range from 34 to 36°C (93 to 97°F) on Tuesday and Wednesday.
