As a conclusion to a historically dry and hot summer, a final heat stroke will take place in France starting this weekend. Temperatures will be unequal in France, from 28°C to over 35°C.
The summer of 2022 is none other than the hottest Europe has seen since temperatures have been recorded. We are talking about a ” average temperature about 1.34°C above the 1991-2020 average for the season “. And the least we can say is that the furnace was felt.
As the month of September begins, it is not yet completely over. From this Monday, France will experience yet another peak of heat. This is announced, in particular, The Weather Channel, since September 8th. Also confirmed by Agate Weather. Fortunately, it will be brief.
Thunderstorms after heatstroke
The cause: Hurricane Danielle. This had formed in the middle of the Atlantic, at the beginning of September. From now on, he retrogrades, that is to say that it loses in intensity to the point of not being really a hurricane, transformed into a simple depression. But as indicated The Weather Channelthe phenomenon has a parallel consequence: heading towards the northwest of Spain, and then towards France since the current will rise, the depression remains strong and carries warm winds.
As a result, a heat peak is expected in France. Temperatures will hover around 30 degrees Sunday and Monday in most areas, but expect to exceed 35 degrees in the southwest. It is not impossible that there will be new records for the month of September, confirms Meteo France. Note that it will be a high thermometer, but not a heat wave per se. The specific temperatures remain to be specified: the instability of the situation makes forecasting complicated.
Given the weather pattern, we can expect intense thunderstorms in the second part of the week, starting on Wednesday. Thunderstorms are actually caused by high temperatures and start when they cool down. In the middle of September, the confrontation of cold and heat will be at the heart of the process.
