Shall one fear another heatwave before Fall? According to Météo France forecasts, temperatures are likely to rise again from Wednesday August 24, 2022, in the country.
France is in the grip of record-breaking drought, with soils exceptionally arid. After another heatwave, rainfalls and thunderstorms are expected next week and likely to cause floodings in the country.
For a few days, some scientists only say one thing: “double jet-stream”. This atmospheric air flow could be the explanation of most heatwaves that occurred this summer in France, leading to dramatic fires and a very strong episode of drought. Here is more about that matter.
During the latest heatwave, the city of Paris had to face very high temperatures, over 40°C (104°F). In a few years, over 50°C (122°F) are expected in the capital city and the town is preparing itself.
