It's interesting how we're already in August and places like Paris and Northern France are still at 21-22 degrees Celsius in the middle of the day [1], and I don't remember any heat-wave news that might have had involved France this summer (unlike past recent summers).
Looks like there's something happening over the North Atlantic [2], as the very hot hair present in Southern Algeria/Sahara seems to have become "trapped" in there, unlike in other summers, when it was managing to make its way up North eventually.

- dekervin 3y agoIt's a simple google search away [0]. There was a heatwave like 2 weeks ago.

- paganel 3y agoI specifically mentioned "Paris and Northern France", the post that you linked to mentions Southern France. I remember that in recent summers we had news items like this one [1], with temperatures in Paris reaching 36 degrees Celsius on August 3, 2022, 39 degrees on August 7, 2020 [2], and 42.6 degrees on July 26, 2019 [3]. But it looks like absence of news (no heat-wave for Paris this summer just yet, unlike in 3 of the previous 4 years) is not news anymore.

- paganel 3y agoI was thinking of the first part of the phrase, where I had already narrowed it down. But my point stands, we have had no news this summer of “no heat-wave in Paris!”. Again, we’ve had news of heat-waves in Paris in 3 of the previous 4 summers.
- Timon3 3y agoDo you really expect an article stating "this thing that should be rare isn't happening in city XYZ!"? You'd have to put out such an article for every big city, there'd be nothing but.
- vladvasiliu 3y agoWe've had a few weeks with temperatures abnormally high for the period during June. And until last week or so, the South of France has had very hot temperatures, too. --- edit: According to Wikipedia, Paris is actually quite "normal". The daily mean is 20.9/8 in July/August, with averages between 16 and 26 ºC. This is pretty much what I've noticed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris#Climate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris#Climate
- realusername 3y agoFrance had abnormal temperature in June with a complete full month (!) without rain at the time. Right now it's back to normal weather.
- contravariant 3y agoEr, I share your concern for the environment, but I don't think we need to be concerned about it being not quite summery warm in august.
