France is suffocating under a new heatwave. Temperature records are and will be broken during this heatwave especially in the south. France is 8 to 15?C above normal temperatures for August. This heatwave is due to a heat dome and is qualified as 'extreme for the intensity, the duration and for being in late summer'. More than 15 departments such as Haute-Garonne (Toulouse) are placed on red alert on heat. Red alert on heat is announced when night temperatures are above 26?C and day temperatures are above 40?C. Water restrictions are in place in all France, someplaces haven't drinking water and must be resupply with trucks. Toulouse. August 23th 2023. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
