Heatwave affecting most of France – Paris has hit a record high at the weekend with 25.9 degrees Celsius. Saturday April 5th marked the hottest April 5th ever recorded. The heatwave, affecting much of France, is 5.1°C above average. For the past three weeks, France has seen above-average temperatures, especially in the northern regions, with several towns exceeding 25°C. According to authorities global warming is contributing to these unusually high early spring temperatures, with 2024 being the warmest April worldwide. The heatwave is due to a high-pressure system, causing stable weather, but temperatures are expected this weekend with an influx of Arctic air, increasing the risk of frost in the northeast.
A tsunami is possible on the French Riviera, even if most occur in the Pacific.
