Franța a înregistrat cea mai fierbinte lună iulie din istorie

In July 2026, France recorded its highest average monthly temperature since meteorological observations began over a century ago, reaching 24.9 degrees Celsius. This record was influenced by a prolonged heatwave and significant drought, increasing the risk of wildfires and impacting agriculture. The average temperature was 3.8 degrees Celsius above normal, with daily highs exceeding the climatological average by 5.2 degrees. The lack of rainfall, with a deficit of nearly 70%, made July 2026 the third driest on record. These extreme weather conditions are becoming more frequent due to climate change, affecting not only France but also other European countries.
