The only good news on the horizon is that it will probably be less intense and shorter than the previous one. "From Sunday onwards, temperatures are expected to approach 30°C in the northern half of the country and to exceed 32-33°C in the southern half," says Jean-Yves Choplin. According to the forecaster, the mercury should rise 1 or 2°C every day until Wednesday. We will then have "over 30°C" in the north of the country and "35°C" in the south.
No "hot spells" this time
While the orange heatwave vigilance was lifted on Tuesday 26 July for the last departments in the south-east of France, the rest of the country was experiencing a lull in a relative coolness. "The respite will be short-lived, warns Jean-Yves Choplin. The Azores anticyclone, responsible for the July heatwave, is returning to the country.
A heat dome phenomenon will once again affect France, according to Météo France. "The anticyclone blocks the air and the sun warms this air in the same place, so the heat remains," explains Jean-Yves Choplin. Nevertheless, metropolitan France should escape the phenomenon of "hot spells", which had led to record temperatures being exceeded in July.
