Heatwave Continues in France, with Temperatures 8 to 10°C Above Seasonal Norms

It’s going to be hot again in France. While several municipalities in France exceeded 30°C during the day on Tuesday, with a record recorded in Arcs-sur-Gardens in the Var department with 31.5°C, the mercury should continue your ascent this Wednesday.

A rise in temperatures favored by the passage of storm Agnès off the Atlantic coast, which favors the circulation of very hot air over the territory.

8 to 10°C above seasonal norms

Compared to Tuesday, the increase in temperatures is already visible with the minimums forecast for the morning. In Nancy, where the mercury struggled to exceed 5°C in the early hours of the day on Tuesday, 8°C is expected today.

Once again, the thermal amplitude in the cities of the East of the country, understanding the difference between the minimum temperature and the maximum, promises to be astonishing. In Nancy again, with 26°C expected in the afternoon, an amplitude of 18°C ​​is expected.

Like what happened yesterday, it is in the southern and southwest departments that the temperatures are expected to be the hottest. Thus, 31°C is expected in the shade in Bordeaux by Météo-France and 32°C in Toulouse, forecasts of 8 to 10°C above seasonal norms.

According to Was-Matin, fairly high temperatures are expected again in the department with nearly 30°C in Rayol, Saint-Tropez and Fréjus. We will record 27°C in Hyères and 26°C in Saint-Cyr and Toulon,” it says.

Global warming pointed out

Logically, such high temperatures at this time of year, just a few days before October, raise questions. If it’s not hot enough to use the term “heat wave”, this month of September is “exceptionally hot”, explains to BFMTV.com François Gourand, meteorologist from Météo-France.

“In a way, warming lengthens the summer period. It is therefore not surprising to observe these kinds of temperatures,” he insists.

For him, there is no doubt that the months of September will be hit by real heat waves in the future.
