Heat Waves and Health in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Bulletin dated June 23, 2026.
Key Points
- According to Météo France, scorching temperatures are expected to persist throughout the region until early next week. They could drop next Tuesday.
- 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 (June 18, 2026), and particularly over the past two days. This trend falls within the expected range given the current weather conditions. The trends in the monitored indicators show mixed patterns at the departmental level, with no clear predominance at this stage.
