We would almost get used to it: he sometimes did, on this Friday August 12, 2022, over 40°C in France.
This Friday, day of the peak of the current heat wave, indeed saw this symbolic threshold being exceeded again, particularly in the South West.
Nearly 42°C in the Aude
As the specialized journalist Guillaume Séchet indicates on Twitter, it thus made 41.8 ° C in Durban-Corbières (Aude), or 40.1 ° C in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne)

A little further east, in the Rhône Valley, the temperatures did not reach this symbolic bar, but the mercury could still rise to 39 ° C locally.
More than 35°C in the West
The West was a little more spared but, in the south of the Breton peninsula, it was still able to reach up to 35°C, just like in the Pays de la Loire.
The other French regions generally experienced lower temperatures, even if, at the hottest of the day, it was also over 30°C.
Certain coastal areas, in particular those located along the English Channel or the Mediterranean, were on the other hand spared by not seeing the mercury exceed 25 or 26 ° C.
