Monday evening, climatologist Françoise Vimeux answered the question of Mathieu, a resident of Meurthe-et-Moselle, who wonders “how global warming affects the amount of water that falls”. “Climate change is modifying large-scale atmospheric circulation. We will have a new distribution of rainfall. We will modify the extremes of rainfall, (…) because our atmosphere can contain more water vapor when it is warmer “replied the scientist.

These weather reports can be found every day at 8:40 p.m. on France 2 and at 9 p.m. on France 3.
