France: A severe heat wave hits the country, with temperatures reaching 40°C in Paris on Tuesday. But when will it end?

Arab Weather - The latest weather updates from the Arab Weather Center indicate that the effects of the heat wave affecting parts of southern and western Europe will reach France, where the capital, Paris, is expected to record scorching temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius on Tuesday.

An extremely hot air mass is affecting France.

The country is being affected by an extremely hot air mass coming from North Africa, leading to a significant rise in temperatures, especially in the interior and western regions. Most French cities are recording temperatures that are significantly higher than their average, exceeding 10 degrees Celsius, amid a particularly sweltering and summery climate.

Paris touches 40 degrees Celsius

The capital, Paris, is among the cities most affected by this heat wave, with forecasts indicating a maximum temperature approaching 40°C on Tuesday. Low humidity and a near-total absence of clouds are expected, further enhancing the feeling of heat.

When will the heat wave break?

According to indicators, the current heat wave will not last long, as it is expected to begin to break during the second half of the week. This is due to the advance of a cooler air mass from Western Europe toward the French interior. This mass is accompanied by unstable weather conditions, with the chances of local thunderstorms increasing, particularly in the western and northern regions of the country, contributing to a significant drop in temperatures.

And God knows best.
