After a particularly hot and stormy month of June, July promises to be marked by heat and drought. Indeed, the week of the 14th should reserve an episode of heat wave over most of the territory.
Thus, the summer of 2022 is not over yet and promises to continue in a context marked by heat and drought. According to forecasts by meteorologists from The Weather Channel, this summer season should have a surplus close to 1.5°C to 2°C above the three-month averages. We could therefore well face one of the three hottest summers observed in France since 1900 with those of 2003 and 2018.
After a month of July dotted with major waves of strong heat, August should continue in a similar vein but with temperatures still closer to normal for the season. Other heat waves should appear, however, they are less strong and less long than during the previous month.
Unlike July, August also has stormy episodes, especially in the South-West and North-East. However, these storms should be less intense than those of June and should spare a good part of the territory. Thus, for holidaymakers or people living in the North-West or South-East, there will be a lack of rainfall and the month of August should therefore be generally favorable.
Warmth and good weather. This is generally what the month of September should hold for most of the territory. Thus allowing to return to work without having too much of the blues for the Augustians but also to take advantage of favorable weather for September vacationers. If stormy episodes could appear, they should remain temporary and rainfall will probably remain below from France. Languedoc-Roussillon could still experience some particularly strong storms.
In general, meteorologists from The Weather Channel still predict temperatures above normal by 1.5°C and precipitation below normal for the season.
The beginning of autumn should continue on this dry trend which already dominates the summer. Despite everything, the forecasts remain less precise given the weather that still separates us from the month of autumn. However, The Weather Channel reveals that cool, dry air currents are expected to dominate along the edge of the Atlantic High.
The south-east of the metropolis could be conducive to a dominant mistral, which would limit the risk of Mediterranean episodes. Temperatures should remain at or slightly below normal for the season. This context could lead to the first somewhat early frosts in October.
