Against the heat wave, the city opens parks in the evening and installs foggers

What a heat! The northern department has been placed on alert orange heat wave since Tuesday. In Lille, the municipality has decided to widen the opening hours of some parks in order to allow Lille residents to enjoy warmer temperatures in the evening.

We will not complain that it is hot in the summer, especially at home. we. For all that, it's too much. In Lille, we can expect that the thermometer climbs up to 35 degrees, Thursday. To fight against these hot weather, the municipality does not have many weapons, but it has keys.

Mists to cool off

Thus, the park Jean-Baptiste Lebas, in Lille-center, and the Mothers' Square, in Fives, are open later since Tuesday. Usually closed from 9.30pm or 10pm, they are now accessible to loiterers until 11pm.

In addition, foggers will be set up, as of Thursday, in different parts of the city. The first two will be installed Place de la République and Place du Carnaval. The city council badures that more will follow without however specifying the location and the number.
