In an interview with the magazine "Nous Deux" Monday, June 5, 2023, Évelyne Dhéliat spoke at length about her breast cancer, a disease she fought against ten years ago. The weather presenter on TF1 also took advantage of this interview to respond to rumors that she would soon retire...

Évelyne Dhéliat has been making rain and shine on TF1 for more than 30 years now... Director of the channel's weather service, she presents the bulletins from Monday to Thursday, and alternates weekends with Louis Bodin and Tatiana Silva. A rhythm that suits her perfectly and that she would not change for anything in the world. At 75 years old, Évelyne Dhéliat feels in great shape and has no intention of retiring.

"We have just finished the schedules for the start of the school year"

In an interview with the magazine Nous Deux on Monday, June 5, Evelyne Dhéliat silenced rumors that she would present her latest weather at the end of June. "We have just finished the schedules for the start of the school year. I will return from vacation in mid-August to find my bulletins and viewers if it can reassure you, "she said to our colleagues laughing. It was in this same interview that Évelyne Dhéliat spoke about her breast cancer, a subject she has long ignored. "That's right, I didn't talk about it much. I developed a breast tumor in 2012 and I felt it was very personal," she explained in the columns of the magazine Nous Deux.

"I had to stop staying in my corner"

On Monday 5 June, Évelyne Dhéliat kicked off the week devoted to the operation "Cancer mobilization, all together with researchers" on the set of the Douze coups de midi, in front of Jean-Luc Reichmann. A strong commitment for the weather presenter who recently decided to speak publicly about her breast cancer: "At the launch of the Pink October awareness campaign in 2022, I heard doctors say that the testimony of well-known people, especially on the theme of screening, was not only important but essential. There, I understood that I had to stop staying in my corner." The weather presenter quickly realized that her speech had been beneficial: "I learned that my interventions had given courage to many women," she concluded.
