Our nearest Dept is 25 - not in the list - and it is warm outside now but not stifling. Tuesday is predicted to be hotter though.

We have been on orange alert for several days now. Being high up the temperatures are not as severe as in the valley plus we get a bit more breeze. We "had to" descend to the Rhone valley this morning and by the time we had done the necessary it was beginning to get very unpleasant.

I see now that the forecast has changed and instead of 15 days straight sun we are now offered storms for Tuesday into Wednesday.

Dry as a bone for us. No rain or storms in the forecast for the next 15 days. Full sun and hovering 40 celcius every single day.

Reasonable 28 down by the coast at the moment, definitely more humid though. We seem to have escaped the worst of it.

38° for us but not a breath of fresh air so felt hotter.

Like most we are on an orange meteo alert for heatwave.

Low 30s here but a light breeze most of the day. We're on alerte orange too but it won't be as hot as further south ..

I had a wonderful walk tonight - 28, gentle breeze.

One thing I have noticed at night, after a hot day, the wind really picks up for several hours around 1 am. Any ideas?

Seems Vigelence rouge has been declared for the whole west coast departements except pyrenees altlantique which is "only" orange.

It was abnormally hot here today at 37°C and no usual sea breeze so stayed inside and watched the Tour. It may be even hotter tomorrow, but should start to cool down on Tuesday and Wednesday.
