The refreshment expected in the coming days will be welcome. Temperature records at night were recorded during the night from Friday to Saturday in several cities in France, reports Météo France. The hexagon, especially the Southwest, has faced since August 8 with a sustainable scorching episode.

“The night from Friday to Saturday was particularly hot with minimums raised on three -quarters south of the country,” notes Météo France. In Narbonne (Aude), he made 27.8 ° C during the night – from unheard of since August 12, 2003. In Noirmoutier (Vendée), the Mercury rose up to 23.2 ° C once the sun was lying, beating the previous 23 ° C record recorded on July 24, 1990.

La Roche-sur-Yon (Vendée), Pujaut (Gard) or Matha (Charente-Maritime) also broke records last night, according to a statement published by Météo France on its website.

A night to come still “very hot”

After a warm Saturday in general, the coming night “promises to be very hot again,” warns Météo France. The 20 ° C, the threshold from which we can speak of the tropical night, will be exceeded in a large southern half of the country throughout the night.

“During the day of Sunday, under the growing influence of the northern wind on the country, temperatures drop everywhere, despite the persistence of very strong heat with 35 to 37 ° C from south-west to southeast,” anticipates the weather institute. The arrival of thunderstorms early next week will cause a drop in temperatures.
