Weather agency Météo France has issued weather warnings for most of France, with 14 départements placed on orange alert. An orange alert is the second highest level of alert in France and urges the public to be vigilant and to avoid unnecessary travel. The other départements to get weather warnings were Aisne, Ardennes, Aube, Marne, Nord and Yonne (see map below). Wednesday is set to be a warm one all over, according to the morning's forecast, with temperatures in the early afternoon to reach the mid thirties across most of central France. By the late afternoon and into the early evening (see map below), temperatures will only have cooled off slightly.
