This Sunday promises to be difficult in part of France. 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 latest 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.
38°C expected in Lyon and Bourg-en-Bresse
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. In Brittany and Lower Normandy, the sky will remain variable with scattered showers during the day.
Calm and sunny day elsewhere
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. Minimum temperatures will range from 12 to 16 degrees near the English Channel, 15 to 20 degrees over the rest of the northern half, 17 to 22 degrees in the south, 23 to 24 degrees on the Côte d’Azur and Corsica.
The maximum will range from 20 to 25 degrees from the Channel to the Pays de la Loire, from 25 to 30 degrees from Hauts-de-France to the Atlantic coast, from 30 to 35 degrees elsewhere, locally 36 to 37 in the plain of Alsace, in Burgundy, in the Rhone valley and in Provence.
