In the red...

...for heat. Here is today's vigilance map posted by MétéoFrance, the French national weather service. Actually, the map looks exactly the same for tomorrow too. We are in the red danger zone and are being asked to curtail our outdoor activities and drink a lot of water over the course of the day. I've added labels for Paris and for Saint-Aignan on the map; Paris is about 150 miles north of Saint-Aignan.


Below is a map showing today's and tomorrow's high temperatures all around the country.
We're in the 38 to 40C zone (purple). Paris is not quite as hot.
