Weather alerts: Heat and drought in France, heavy rain in Algeria
France is entering the autumn season with unseasonably warm and dry weather. Météo-France reports that temperatures in the south, particularly in the Languedoc region, could reach peaks of 34°C. This persistent heat is accompanied by severe soil drought, with national indicators reaching levels never before observed for mid-September in many departments. According to the VigiEau service, 76 departments are currently under water crisis restrictions.
In Algeria, the Office national de la météorologie (ONM) has issued orange rain alerts across various regions. Several wilayas, including those in the Sahara and northern coastal areas, are expected to experience significant rainfall, with some amounts potentially reaching or exceeding 50 mm.
