Another Heat Wave May Be Hitting Europe Next Week - Projected Highs +/- 40C In Southern France

[hatrack]

After a brief spell of respite from a scorching heatwave that gripped Europe last month, projections show that temperatures are likely to soar once again next week in areas including France, Germany, Austria, the UK, Norway, the Netherlands Spain, and Portugal.

Météo France, the country's national weather agency, said on Wednesday that we could be heading towards a second heatwave, but that forecasts were not yet definitive.

The agency said it would continue to monitor weather changes and patterns, which are constantly evolving, over the coming days. A heatwave is classified as multiple days with abnormally high temperatures.

The agency warned that mercury would begin to climb this weekend in France and most places would likely hit 35C by next Tuesday, with the exception of the littoral Atlantic and north-west regions. Wednesday and Thursday will likely see peak temperatures reach as high as 39C-40C in the south-east and 35C in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
