As the heatwave continues across most of the country, La Chaîne Météo (The Weather Channel) published a bulletin this Sunday, July 12, 2026, revealing what is expected to happen throughout the week of July 14. And everything will depend on a particular phenomenon: the cold front.
In France, one in three departments remains under a red heatwave alert this Monday, July 13, 2026, while 95% of the country is still under a heatwave warning. This heatwave began at the start of the month, just as the country was emerging from a historic heatwave at the end of June and had experienced another in May. The reason? “France regularly finds itself under the influence of high pressure systems between the Atlantic, Western Europe, and sometimes the north of the continent ,” explained La Chaîne Météo this Friday, July 10, 2026, adding that these high pressure systems push weather disturbances back . So, while we know why France is so hot, the question is: when will it end?
