Are we heading for one of the hottest days in France? In any case, this is what meteorologists from Météo France believe. It is calculated that “heat becoming intense” will appear between Sunday and next Tuesday, according to the site.
Thus, temperature records are to be expected in the South-West, Center-West and the lower Rhône Valley. According to the site of La Dépêche, meteorologists estimate that “this day could be one of the hottest ever recorded on the scale of France”.
Temperatures in these regions can rise to an average of 29.4 degrees. This value has only been reached twice in France, once on August 5, 2003 and the other on July 25, 2019. However, nothing is certain yet. The probability of this average being beaten is not entirely certain. “It is not possible to make forecasts by making analogies” explains climatologist Mathieu Sorel in a video from Météo France, according to La Dépêche.
This heatwave episode is the cause of fires in the Gironde department. Two forest fires have devastated nearly 4,200 hectares since Tuesday, explains La Dépêche. While the Drôme-Ardèche department and the South-West of France risk a rise in the thermometer. Temperatures of up to 37 degrees in Toulouse on Saturday July 16, in Occitanie or 37 degrees on Tuesday July 19 in Montélimar in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, according to Météo France. The task of firefighters is therefore likely to become more complicated next week, at least until next Tuesday.
