Temperature records are expected this week. However, is this a new winter? Will these temperatures have consequences?
Temperatures exceeded 20 degrees in the south of the country on Tuesday, December 28. It reigned like spring in winter in the Perpignan area, so locals and tourists alike took advantage of the beach, on foot and by bike. Lovers of pétanque will be able to enjoy this sweetness until the end of the week. Temperatures are expected to be historically high across the country. Unheard of according to Météo France, which nevertheless believes that “this phenomenon will be more and more frequent”.
Should we be worried about this rise in temperatures? Farmers could suffer the full brunt of the seasons with totally disrupted seasons. “If this mildness continues and if it is accompanied by precipitation in the spring, as in 2016, it could create considerable damage”, indicates climatologist Robert Vautard. Last April, it was not the rain but a wave of frost in the middle of spring that had compromised many harvests.
