I looked up the map for 22. It's white. No info on white map areas. Any idea what it means?

@Hotrodder If you click on the link, you can then click on your department on the map. I notice there has been no recent arrêté by the prefecture, so there are probably no restrictions in your department.

Tempête de neige

It is HOT in 46.
Outside in the courtyard during the afternoon and early evening the heat is unbearable.
And it is due to get worse.
We have lots of insulation but we are in the middle of a village where all the walls and surfaces heat up.
Dogs go walkies first thing, then lie in the shade, then pm flop in the garage under the house or upstairs with us near the fans.

We're on the border of 46/24, about 5 mins walk from our house in 24 we are in 46.

I agree with Liz, by the afternoon we, and 4 cats + 2 dogs stay inside. The house is well insulated but a new (2011) build, so not a cool old stone house.

We picked up an a/c unit, portable, a couple of days ago from lidl. It's very good so far, in so much as I find it too cold, but I am a chilly person at the best of times

Not as hot here but still more than is comfortable. The cats tend to disappear around 10:00 and reappear around 21:00 to be fed and then disappear again rather than using our buildings as shelter.

Due to be significantly hotter for the next few days.

Uncomfortably hot yesterday and I used the Evian water spray a lot (my favourite way of cooling down). This morning it's so cool I've had to put on a cardigan....

Yesterday was far more comfortable at around 28°C with a light sea breeze. It's due to be hot on Sunday, peaking at 34°C (!) on Monday, more than hot enough for us !! Our old doggie spends a fair amount of time lying on the cool tiles and only occasionally goes for a stroll round the garden.

[Lori]

Quite hot here too. 37 today and 39 or 40 every day of the coming week. Fires on a daily basis round here. Terrible.

Our horses & dog are enjoying frozen chunks of water melon.
Me? I just put more ice in my apero.
