- A marked rise in temperatures is expected across France during the week of the school return.
- The phenomenon could lead to a sixth heatwave in the country this season.

- This episode follows a brief dip in temperatures observed at the end of August.
High temperatures return for the start of term
After a few days of respite at the end of August, weather conditions are set to change significantly across the country. Forecasts predict a gradual rise in temperatures during the week of the school return. This shift will mark the return of particularly summery conditions for the beginning of September, extending the atmosphere of previous weeks.
A potential sixth heatwave
This widespread warming could be long-lasting and reach significant levels in several regions. Weather models confirm the scenario of a possible sixth heatwave since the start of the season. If the trend continues over the coming days, this episode will add to a summer sequence already marked by several successive heat peaks throughout the season.
The South particularly exposed
Although the rising mercury is expected to affect a large part of the country, geographical disparities remain likely on a national scale. The southern half of France appears to be the area most exposed to this new episode of high heat. Temperatures there are expected to reach high levels, requiring close attention in the coming days following the late August lull.
