EXCLUSIVE RANKING – The frequency of “tropical” and abnormally hot nights will increase by the middle of the century. Discover the projections of climatologists for 300 municipalities closest to you.
You will have to get used to “tropical nights”, those where the minimum temperature does not drop below 20°C. “This term may come as a surprise because until then it was mainly reserved for exotic and hot countries.“says Mary Kerdoncuff, deputy director of climatology and climate services at Météo France. But, global warming obliges, “even in the northern half of France we will learn to know this phenomenon well“. In some municipalities more than elsewhere, these scorching nights – which put the body to the test – will become the norm.
We present here, for the 300 largest cities in France, the results of climate modeling work by researchers from twelve European laboratories compiled by Météo France. Will your municipality retain a globally breathable nocturnal climate after 2040? Is it one of those where scorching nights will become the majority during the summer? Discover screenings near you.
