July is the month of all temperature records, especially in Nîmes. On Friday July 15, the local meteorological station recorded more than 40°C there. How do we prepare for another sweltering day on Saturday?

At noon, Saturday July 16, the thermometer already shows 33°C in Nîmes (Gard). In this heat, all means are good to cool off. The public fountains are transformed into a paddling pool. On the terraces, cold drinks and fans are out. “Afterwards, at home, it’s a fan, it’s a lot of water, stay in the shade, close everything“, says a woman.

Even the shortest walks in town are sporty, and you have to equip yourself with at least a bottle of water. Two young men complete a 300 km journey on foot, in the heat wave. “It’s difficult, it’s not bad“, says one of them, while the other says to himself “physically diminished“. On the public benches, the places in the shade valet de l’or. 37°C are expected in the afternoon in Nîmes.
