Key Points

• According to Météo France, scorching temperatures are expected to persist throughout the region through the weekend. They could drop starting next Monday.
• A regional analysis of emergency care utilization shows a sharp increase in the iCanicule composite health indicator (which includes cases of hyperthermia, dehydration, and hyponatremia) since Sunday, June 21, in emergency departments, and since Monday, June 22, for SOS calls. This trend falls within the expected fluctuations given the current weather conditions.
• Trends in the monitored indicators vary by department: emergency departments in Burgundy, which are on red alert, are treating more patients, particularly those aged 75 and older.
