An improvement in the weather can be expected from next Tuesday in the capital, with temperatures close to summer weather.
It is because of the “cold drop” phenomenon that the summer has been so bad so far.
It is the eighth rainiest summer in Paris since 1873.
A gloomy weather, a little depressing.
This summer, between sudden rains, cold nights and timid lulls, the sun did not really honor France with its rays.
At
20 minutes
, we wanted to take the temperature for the days to come.
François Gourand, meteorologist at Météo-France, enlightens us with his good lights, with rather… warming forecasts.
When will the weather improve in Paris?
From Tuesday, it is possible that we enter a series of sunny days without rain.
It's not sure but the trends are good, with temperatures around 25 and 28 ° C, closer to summer weather.
Our forecasts are viable for one week.
We have the impression that they are favorable until August 15.
We can therefore hope for a change of weather from Tuesday of next week.
How to explain the gloomy weather this summer?
At Météo-France, summer runs from June 1 to August 31.
Since the first half of June, the weather has changed dramatically.
We saw a phenomenon of "cold drop" occur around June 17 and 18, almost uninterrupted until July 14.
All followed by a single week of good weather.
Otherwise, the phenomenon was constant with rain, coolness and a lack of sunshine.
Is it harder to predict the weather these days?
Yes, because the “cold drop” phenomenon, which is a small depression with cold air formed at altitude, is more difficult to predict, more chaotic.
This introduces an additional difficulty.
Our models can also be less precise.
Can we say that we are below seasonal temperatures?
These days yes.
On the other hand, since the beginning of summer, the beginning of June was hot.
And in the end, even in July, temperatures were only 1 ° C below seasonal norms, which is not a remarkable difference.
On the other hand, it is the rainfall that really stands out: almost 200 millimeters of rain since the start of summer, knowing that the normal is 120 millimeters.
This is 66% more than normal.
We are in a summer that stands out from the previous ones.
Historically, it is the eighth rainiest summer in Paris since 1873. In the 21st century, only the summer of 2001 saw more water.
Are there any differences to be expected between the north and the south of France?
There will be rain for everyone this weekend.
On the other hand, the sun returns to the south this Sunday.
The weather will remain cool in the north until Tuesday.
Is there a link with global warming?
On a global scale, the big heat waves currently hitting Greece and Turkey are due to global warming of temperatures.
The latter makes it possible to break records, which favors the spread of fires.
However, there is no established link with the exceptional rainfall that is currently observed in France.
