Rain is expected to seriously disrupt the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The disaster was feared, the disaster will happen. After several days with great uncertainties, the rain will be present all day in the Paris region and particularly in Paris according to the latest forecasts from Météo France. A big rainy episode is even expected at the end of the day, a few minutes before the kick-off of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics 2024. Gusts of wind are also expected during the evening, a delicate meteorological situation with the presence of many boats in a Seine which could have a strong flow of water.
It’s expected between 6pm and 7pm. And the cumulative rainfall between 6pm and 7pm and midnight is expected to be quite significant. Up to 25-30mm of rain is expected. To give you a comparison, that’s the equivalent of 15 days of precipitation in a few hours. It’s not lighting the fire, it’s really putting it out,” explained a weather specialist on RMC this Friday, July 26.
