France ushering in rare heat waves may be more serious than 2003

Overseas Network, July 12th. Starting on the 12th local time, France ushered in a new wave of heat waves. The French Meteorological Administration warned that this wave of heat waves was stronger than the last wave of June, and the duration will last longer. Some experts believe that the heat wave may exceed the fatal heat wave that swept France in 2003.

According to the Parisian, the early heat waves that swept across the country in June have just passed three weeks, and France will once again usher in a new wave of heat waves. The French Meteorological Administration warned that starting from the 12th, it will be very hot no matter the day or night. In the next week, the temperature in all areas of France will rise day by day, and it will rise by 1 degree Celsius to 2 degrees Celsius every day. For example, in Paris, the highest temperature on the 11th is 31 degrees Celsius, 33 degrees Celsius on the 12th, and 34 or 35 degrees Celsius on the 13th. France's heating waves are still the most affected by the southwestern region. The maximum temperature of Toulouse on the 11th reached 37 degrees Celsius, rising to 38 degrees Celsius on the 12th, and 39 degrees Celsius on the 13th. According to the forecast of the meteorological department, from the 12th to 13th, the maximum temperature in the local area of ​​Akitan will reach 40 degrees Celsius.

The French Meteorological Administration predicts that from the 16th to 17th and the beginning of the next week, the average temperature of three -quarters of the area in France will reach 34 to 38 degrees Celsius in the afternoon, and the maximum temperature will break 40 degrees Celsius. Meteorologist Ji Lam Sexie predicts that the high temperature in some areas will break the record, and the heat waves will seriously affect the northern region, and the highest temperature in Paris will reach or even more than 40 degrees Celsius.

According to the meteorological department, unlike the last wave of heat waves in June, this heat wave will last longer, at least 7 days, 8 days, or even 10 days. Ji Yaomae said that this is "an unprecedented situation". At present, it is impossible to fully understand to what extent the high temperature peak will reach, but the temperature will definitely be "very high".

Although the French people have gradually become accustomed to high temperature in recent years, they should not underestimate the heat wave. Meteorologist Patrick Lang Grucrua said that in the past 35 years, France has experienced 36 wave heat waves, but this time it will be very strong, which is very similar to the 2003 or 2019 situation.

Even some experts do not rule out the possibility of rare heat waves in 2003. In August 2003, the heat waves in France lasted for two weeks and the temperature was between 35 and 40 degrees Celsius. It was abnormal in terms of time, strength, and scope. This extreme weather caused about 15,000 people to die. French meteorological expert Gatan Heims said that considering the "unprecedented severity" of the heat waves, it will not be ruled out that it will surpass 2003. Knitov Casu, a climate scientist and research director of the National Science Research Center of France (CNRS), said that it is not possible to determine whether the waves will be more serious than 2003, but they must take this risk seriously Essence (Overseas Network-Paris-Lu Jia)
