In some places the air temperature reaches 35 ° C. This is a record for May in the entire history of observations, forecasters say.
On Wednesday, May 18, air temperatures in some areas in southern France reached an anomalous 35 ° C. This peak of heat, which is unusual for the season, is likely to make this May the hottest on record in the country. BFMTV reported this on May 18.
In towns near Toulouse and in the city itself, temperatures broke records on Wednesday, and in the Gironde 35 ° C on these dates was recorded for the first time since 2002.
Temperatures, which have been moderate since the beginning of May, have been higher than seasonal averages for several days. In most parts of France this week, the mercury column exceeded 28 ° C. Even in Brittany, a region in the northwest of the country, the temperature is equivalent to the 1992 record of approximately 28 ° C.
Such intense heat is not uncommon for mid -May. The meteorological agency reported that since April 11, temperatures have continued to exceed the norm. The agency said it was “exceptional in how early, how long and in its geographical extent”, and May 2022 may be the hottest on record, beating the 2011 record.
Recall that earlier experts from the European Center for Climate Change Copernicus Climate Change Service said that the last seven years have been the hottest in the history of the planet. For example, an unusually early and intense heat wave in the spring swept through the wheat fields in India, which nearly stopped half of their harvests.
