The heat wave that’s gripped parts of the continent is set to give way to cooler weather in about a week’s time, but strongly above-average temperatures will linger in France and on the Iberian Peninsula until then.
Those regions will get as hot as the “upper 30s to lower 40s” over the next five days, but by the end of next weekend Madrid will be back at its normal level for this time of year, according to forecaster Maxar Technologies Inc. Orange heat warnings remained in place for parts of eastern France as Europe’s network of national meteorological services told people that “everyone is in danger, even those in good health” and warned them not to go out between 11am and 9pm.
