Évelyne Dhéliat is revising her forecast for 2050. The TF1 weather presenter, who presented a “future weather” in 2014 to show what temperatures would be in France during a heat wave in 2050, could only once again lend themselves to exercise in the face of the very rapid increase in temperatures in recent months. In a fake weather, published on social networks by the channel, she presented the new temperatures that she would have done in France in thirty years.
Eight years ago, Évelyne Dhéliat presented a “specialist-developed” map of Météo France that showed temperatures “equal to or above 40 ° C” during a heat wave in August 2050. The maximum? 43 ° C in Nîmes (Gard). The map indicated a minimum temperature of 26 ° C in Brest (Finistère). But it is clear that these forecasts have already been achieved in recent years… well before 2050.
48 ° C in Nîmes in 2050
“Here is the map now predicted with temperatures equal to or above 40 ° C, in the event of a strong heat wave”, presents Évelyne Dhéliat. And to cite the example of Nîmes where it is now expected, according to these future weather forecasts, 48 ° C. In Reims the temperature ranges from 41 to 43 ° C, from 40 to 45 ° C in Bordeaux… But there is “a difference of about ten degrees in the north”, observes Évelyne Dhéliat. In Brest, the weather forecast for 2050 foresees a maximum temperature (while remaining the minimum temperature at national level) of 37 ° C.
And the weather presenter to remember: “Remember what we experienced last summer, says Évelyne Dhéliat. On 18 July we touched 40 ° C in Brest, exceeded 41 ° C in La Rochelle… ”The TF1 star also recalled the absolute temperature records in 2019: 46 ° C in Vérargues (28 June). It had never been this hot in France.
