Fourteen departments are, Sunday morning, in orange vigilance, including four for heat wave in the South-East and ten others for violent storms in the North-East, announced Météo-France in its last bulletin. In the South-East, the Rhône, Ain, Isère and Alpes-Maritimes departments are kept on orange vigilance for a heat wave, due to a “heat wave episode that is not exceptional for the season, but whose persistence requires vigilance particular, especially for sensitive or exposed people”, specifies Météo-France.
In Lyon and Bourg-en-Bresse, the mercury should notably reach 38 degrees, indicates the meteorological institute, which has also placed 59 departments on yellow vigilance for heat waves or violent storms. In the North-East, ten other departments, Aisne, Seine-et-Marne and the entire Grand-Est region with the exception of Alsace, have been placed on orange alert for violent storms.
37 degrees in the Rhone Valley
In Brittany and Lower Normandy, the sky will remain variable with scattered showers during the day. On the rest of the country, except for a few clouds and showers on the mountains, the day will be calm and sunny, in an atmosphere that will always be warm.
