In late August 2026, the Centre-Val de Loire region in France recorded extreme temperature anomalies. Following an exceptionally hot July, August saw peak temperatures reaching 40.0°C in Bourges, Avord, and Châteauroux-Déols, with Bourges recording its second-highest August on record.

By mid-September, heat patterns persisted across various French regions. While temperatures in Paris and Lille remained relatively mild, other areas such as Bordeaux and Toulouse experienced summer-like heat, with Bordeaux reaching 34°C due to a stagnant warm air mass.
