YES if the official Météo‑France Vigilance archived map for August 13, 2026 shows at least one metropolitan département, coastal zone, or the national roll‑up at orange (3) or red (4) for the heatwave (canicule) hazard at any time on that date. Otherwise NO. Authoritative sources are the Météo‑France Vigilance archive or Météo‑France datasets on data.gouv.fr, and French news reports quoting Météo‑France are acceptable corroboration.
