Stifling Heatwave Alert: Communities Take Action to Beat the Heat

This beginning of the week will still be stifling in the region. We will have to face an increasingly high mercury. Both departments are on orange alert. Up to 38°C are expected locally according to forecasters and even beyond 40°C on Wednesday. The next two nights will not allow us to refresh our interiors, so patience and the right gestures will be the only remedies while waiting for a return to normal at the end of the week. In this context, communities are taking action to help you through the process. The Bordeaux metropolis extends the hours of its swimming pools and parks when Agen opens its public gardens continuously and makes its fountains and misters operational over a longer period of time. The event is linked to the appearance of a heat dome.

The CCAS are mobilized to support the most vulnerable, as are the Departmental Councils. The episode of high heat should reach its peak on Wednesday before a long-awaited drop in mercury at the end of the week.
