Key Points

• According to Météo France, scorching temperatures are expected to persist throughout the region until early next week. They could drop next Monday.
• A regional analysis of emergency care utilization shows an increase in the iCanicule composite health indicator (which includes cases of hyperthermia, dehydration, and hyponatremia) since the start of the heat wave, particularly in emergency departments since Sunday, June 21, and for SOS calls since Monday, June 22. This trend falls within the expected range given the current weather conditions.
• The trends in the monitored indicators vary across departments. At this stage, emergency departments in Burgundy, which are on red alert, are treating more people aged 75 and older.
