how long is heat wave expected to last

It looks like this heat wave is expected to last at least through Monday, June 29 , with temperatures easing after that in the Paris and Île-de-France area.

What the latest update says

• The orange heatwave alert is in place on Sunday, June 28 , and is expected to remain through Monday, June 29.

• Highs are forecast to drop to around 34 to 36°C on Sunday, suggesting the peak has already started to pass.

What that means

• In practical terms, the worst of this specific spell should be wrapping up by early next week.

• Even after the alert level drops, hot conditions can still linger for a bit, so heat safety precautions still matter.

• Check on older adults, isolated neighbors, and anyone without cooling, and keep hydrated during the hottest hours.
