Displayed on his screen on two pages, the meteorologist Guillaume Séchet consults the temperature levels reached this Tuesday during the day.
"There was a veritable rain of records throughout France," notes the forecaster before breaking down the maximum levels reached in certain cities.
“In Le Havre (Seine-Maritime), the thermometer rose to 23.4 ° C while the previous record was only 22 ° C, details the specialist.
It has therefore been at least a hundred years since it had never been so hot for a month of March in this town.
"
Guillaume Séchet does not hesitate to speak of "historical situation" because the temperature readings everywhere show an unusual heat for this beginning of spring with false airs of summer.
At Orly (Val-de-Marne), it was 24.9 ° C and the 1955 record was broken.
Ditto in Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine) where the mercury climbed to 23.8 ° C while Saint-Dizier (Haute-Marne) sprayed almost 2 ° C are previous monthly peak dating from 1968.
“Wednesday will be the hottest day of the week and we should reach a new high in Paris, warns Guillaume Séchet.
March 30 and 31 should ultimately be among the two hottest days that France has known for a month of March.
"Better to take advantage of it because the weather will start to get bad Friday before a spectacular return of the cold, and maybe even snow, next week.
