Even Apple's to blame here.

Here's the Weather app incorrectly labeling a *heat wave* weather alert as “Intempéries,” which is only used in French to describe *wet* weather conditions, such as storms, heavy rain, or snow, and never in the context of extreme heat.

I strongly suspect the person who localized this string simply looked up the translation for the original string “Severe Weather” and chose “Intempéries” as the first result they found.

I filed a feedback for this issue almost exactly 3 years ago today, but Apple marked it as “works as currently designed.”
