More specifically, Météo France forecasted a rise of temperatures from Wednesday August 24, as temperatures are likely to go over 30°C (86°F) on most of the country.
Extreme heats are especially expected in the Bordeaux area, in the Rhone valley and Occitanie, without forgetting Corsica. These high temperatures are likely to go on and even rise again in the following days, especially on Friday August 26.
So far, these are only forecasts and it is hard to say whether there will be another heatwave or not. These trends will be confirmed over the next few days by Météo France.
As for La Chaîne Météo, they also forecasted another heatwave with extreme heat starting from the middle of next week.

Tweet reads: "Is another heatwave coming? Within 10 days from the deadline, the obstinacy of weather models for this scenario for several days seem to show good reliability. 40°C could be reached again in the South"
