Another hot spell on the way

ANOTHER spell of hot weather is due for a large part of France later this week, forecasters say.

The heat will not be as long-lasting as in recent weeks, but temperatures are still likely to hit 35°C in the south-west on Wednesday.

Météo France says the hot weather will spread to the north on Thursday - while increasing in the south to reach highs of 38 or 39.

Night-times will be uncomfortable again with temperatures not falling below 20°C.

By Friday, the east of the country will have the hottest temperatures while the hot spell in the south tails off to leave a cooler weekend.
