The sun shone over all of France on Sunday June 12. Temperatures, already high, are expected to rise further to exceed 40 degrees in places at the end of the week.

Sunday June 12, temperatures were summery everywhere in France. In Paris, the thermometer showed 27 degrees and temperatures will rise further. The thermometer will turn red from Friday 17, with up to 41 degrees expected in places. It could indeed be up to 32 degrees in Amiens (Somme), 36 in Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine) and 41 in Albi, in the Tarn.

The heat wave could be unprecedented. “[Si] it materializes well and appears on June 15, it could constitute the earliest heat wave on a national scale since the beginning of the records in terms of heat wave “, explains Tristan Amm, forecaster for Météo-France. The hot air wave is coming from Morocco via Spain. In Seville (Spain), the thermometer already shows 42 degrees and the air is stuffy. These record high temperatures for the season are becoming an increasingly frequent phenomenon.
