In the south-east, the biggest weather challenge over the next two weeks will be high night-time temperatures, which will offer only very limited relief from 29 and 30-degree weather forecast for Monaco during the day.

From Tuesday, July 10, through Tuesday, July 17, overnight temperatures of 24 celsius are expected.
