Key Points

• On August 13, Météo France issued an orange heat wave alert for the departments of Aisne and Oise, a level that remained in effect until August 16. For the other departments, the yellow alert remained in effect and ended one day earlier.
• A regional analysis of healthcare utilization (emergency room visits and SOS Médecins calls) reveals a moderate increase in the iCanicule composite health indicator during this heat wave. However, the impact of this episode remains significantly less than that observed during previous heat waves.
