[EN VIDÉO] Heat wave or heatwave: what’s the difference? In summer, we hear about heat peaks, heat waves and heat waves. The difference is not obvious, but it does come into play for weather alerts or health vigilance plans.
While the last quarter (April-May-June) was the hottest observed in France since 1900, with an average temperature of 16.9°C, the heat seems to be continuing for the start of summer. The context weather report envisaged, without certainty, for next week, recalls for the moment that of the heat wave from June 15 to 19 : a depression centered on Spain will bring upair hot to France. If this is confirmed, it is not impossible that the heat wave thresholds will again be reached in the southwest, with temperatures exceeding 40°C during the day and tropical nights for several days in a row.
Next week promises to be much warmer than normal over Western Europe with a significant thermal anomaly predicted by the European model. The following should also be. Continuity in a persistent heat for more than 2 months. pic.twitter.com/aoa6OjVZXO

Strong heat in the south for sure
However, the reliability of weather forecasts is very limited one week before. It is certain that the country will experience hot weather and even very hot in the south. The possibility of a heat wave seems to be confirmed more and more, but it is far too early to envisage a heat wave as intense as that of last June. Temperatures will rise significantly from Monday in the southwest, then the heat should reach the northwest on Tuesday with possibly more than 30°C, even 35°C, and the rest of the northern half should be affected between Wednesday and Thursday July 14th. From Friday, the situation is too far away to be reliable: either the heat will continue to rise and spread to the east, or the temperatures will start falling again.
