Due to the heat wave that has affected France, a high level of caution has been raised in fifteen departments, a large part of which is Ile-de-France.
Fifteen departments are now on red alert, including Hauts-de-France and Seine-et-Marne, due to a heat wave that will last at least until Tuesday, Météo France announced. The red heat wave in France applies only for the third time. The first two were released last summer.
“all of Ile-de-France is in red and Seine-et-Marne”, and “the five departments of Hauts-de-France (Aisne, Nord, Oise, Pas-de-Calais and Somme), through Eure and Seine-Maritime, due to the “risk of excess mortality in the context of the current Covid and health-related ozone pollution,” Météo-France said.
On Friday afternoon, the temperature rises to more than 35 °C in much of the country, often to more than 38 °C in the south-west of the Loire Valley and up to 40.2 °C in Bretenoux (Lot) and 40 ,4 °C in Barbezieux (Charente), said Meteo-France.

This red alert allows us to be more careful in the face of this phenomenon and implies a “health warning” for all citizens. The cautionary warning refers to all people in the red warning area, not just the elderly, reminding that everyone is exposed to heat wave-related risks.

The maximum alert requires the maximum mobilization of the authorities, including the activation of the inter-ministerial crisis cell phone, which brings together all the ministries affected by the heat wave. In each department affected by the red alert, the prefects also established an operations center to coordinate the actions of state services. In particular, the prefects can take exceptional measures related to the organization of public events.
Edouard Philippe, then prime minister, explained last summer at the LCI that this warning is actually “an opportunity for prefects to postpone or cancel events when they present a risk (…), outdoor activities for the youngest and fragile, sports competitions, if any. All these measures are legally allowed by this ranking of red surveillance “.
