Temperatures predicted to reach 35C as parts of France approach heatwave warnings
Temperatures are predicted to reach 35 in some parts of France this weekend, with certain areas approaching the threshold for heatwave warnings.
In the first hot weather of the summer, temperatures will soar over the next few days to reach 30C in the north and 35C in the south, with the south west seeing the hottest weather, according to French weather forecaster Météo France.
On Saturday and Sunday, "temperatures will continue to rise. At the end of the week, we will often reach the 30C threshold in the northern half of the country and we will approach the 35C threshold in the southern half", said Météo France.
