July was the hottest month on Earth on record. If Greece and Italy were ravaged by fires favored by extreme temperatures, France was rather spared by the heat wave, except for a few days in the south of the country. The average temperature in July in France, however, should be between 21.8°C and 22°C, around 0.8°C above normal according to Météo-France.
The month of August will begin with two disturbances, bringing “heavy rains”, indicates the public establishment of meteorology. Temperature maximums will be about 5°C below seasonal norms. Snowfall could even occur in the Alps.
This Tuesday, August 1, lasting rains will extend from Brittany to the Ardennes. Gusts of 70 km / h will sweep the Channel coast, according to Météo-France. The Observatory of tornadoes and thunderstorms in France Keraunos expects gusts close to 100 km / h at sea, and between 60 to 80 km / h inland.

The mercury will peak between 19°C and 23°C. This disturbance will progress to the Rhine in the evening, with thunderstorms in places in Hauts-de-France. Conversely, in the southern third of the country, the sun will be there, with maximum temperatures for the season, even high in the east of Languedoc or the interior of the Var.
On Wednesday August 2, one disturbance chased another, with the arrival of a strong “unusual” gale for the season, adds Météo-France. Arriving from Brittany, this gust of wind from the West brings sustained rains from the Paris basin to the Vosges. Peaks of 70-80 km/h inland and 100-110 km/h on the Channel coasts are expected. On the other hand, the sun will remain predominant from the Pyrenees to the Alps. “No luck for vacationers, notes agroclimatologist Serge Zaka, France will be the only country in the entire northern hemisphere to be affected by a remarkable negative anomaly, on the sidelines of extensive and record hot anomalies. »
No bowl for vacationers! Next week, ???? will be the only country in the entire northern hemisphere to be affected by a remarkable negative anomaly (the EFI index makes it possible to assess the exceptional nature of an event) on the sidelines of warm anomalies stretches
This gale will carry thundershowers that will “slide” across the country on Thursday August 3 and Friday August 4. “The westerly wind will blow with strong gusts over the Mediterranean regions”, adds Météo-France. A third disturbance is expected to affect the north of the country, before a rise in temperatures on Sunday August 6.
