Thirty-eight consecutive days above seasonal norms: France recorded a spring heat record, the previous similar series dating from April-May 2020, said Thursday Météo-France.

On Wednesday, the day when this series was exceeded, several heat records had been broken or equaled in the southern half of the country.

"With the temperatures expected at least until Saturday, this record is set to be broken again," warns the public establishment, speaking of the record for the number of consecutive days above normal.
