This Wednesday, October 19, temperatures could rise above 30 ° in the region. The exceptional heat is likely to break previously recorded records.
Will mercury be able to break certain records in the Occitania region? The heat wave continues on Tuesday. 30 ° C in Tarbes (Hautes-Pyrénées), 27 ° C in Auch (Gers), Albi (Tarn), Cahors (Lot) or even Montauban (Tarn-et-Garonne): values above the norm, which do not break recordsassures Emilie Haran, meteorologist of Météo France.
For this, we will have to wait until tomorrow. This Wednesday, the thermometer will gain a few more degrees in some cities such as Cahors and Foix (Ariège) with 28 ° C or at Auch where we could get to 33 °. “This Wednesday we will be able to break records in the Gers and in the south of the Haute Garonne”, predicts the specialist.
This heat wave caused by the hot winds from the Maghreb began last Saturday and is expected to end on Thursday 20 October. “You could say it is an episode notable for its late onset and its duration “explains Emilie Haran. “It’s a situation that will become common with all the changes related to global warming “.
