Temperatures have again soared across Europe. In France, on Sunday, 42 departments were put on orange heat alerts, according to French weather forecaster Météo France, with the worst yet to come as temperatures are expected to peak on Monday and Tuesday.
According to the French weathercaster, from Monday onwards 46 departments will be placed under orange alert, with temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees or more in France’s most southern areas such as the Hérault, a neighbouring department of the Aude, which just recently suffered one of France’s worst wildfires in the past 50 years.
