À partir de mercredi, la chaleur s’intensifie quasiment partout . « Un épisode caniculaire se met en place » , a prévenu lors d’un point presse Christelle Robert, prévisionniste à Météo-France: la majorité des régions va être concernée par des valeurs comprises entre 30 et 35 °C sur une large partie sud, avec des pointes à 36 °C possibles dans le Sud-Ouest et le Centre-Est, ou encore dans la vallée du Rhône. Seules la Bretagne et les zones côtières de la Manche seront épargnées. La vigilance jaune sera étendue mercredi midi à plusieurs départements du Centre et de l’Est comme l’Aube, le Limousin, le Poitou-Charentes, le nord des pays de la Loire, le nord aquitain et l’ouest de l’Occitanie.
Et c’est jeudi que « la chaleur deviendra très forte sur une large partie centrale du pays » , avec des pics possibles à 38°C dans les terres du Sud-Ouest jusqu’au Nord-Est, en passant par le Centre-Val de Loire et le Bassin parisien. Une partie de la carte basculera alors en vigilance orange. Les nuits vont aussi devenir tropicales dans de nombreuses villes dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi avec des températures qui ne tomberont pas sous les 20°C. Météo-France évoque en outre des risques d’orages, notamment dans le Nord-Ouest, à partir de jeudi soir, qui rendent les prévisions plus incertaines.

Une vague de chaleur «précoce»
Le week-end promet aussi d’être très chaud, d’autant qu’ « un nouvel afflux d’air très chaud dimanche devrait provoquer une nouvelle hausse marquée des températures » , prévient l’agence météorologique. «Il y a des modélisations qui montrent des températures qui pourraient atteindre les 40°C ponctuellement» , a affirmé Christelle Robert, citant les régions Poitou-Charentes, Centre-Val de Loire, Île-de-France, vallée du Rhône, dans lesquelles «c’est tout à fait possible que de façon localisée, on approche ou on atteigne ces 40°C» . Agnès Verrier, de Santé publique France, a notamment appelé à une «vigilance particulière» alors qu’a lieu dimanche l a Fête de la musique: «Je pense qu’il faut faire attention à cette population jeune qui va fréquenter des lieux extérieurs» .
« On ne peut pas encore être précis sur l’intensité de cette vague de chaleur, toutefois on peut la qualifier de précoce » , a pour sa part indiqué Matthieu Sorel, climatologue à Météo-France. Selon lui, il est encore trop tôt pour dire si des records seront battus, ou si cette vague de chaleur durera au-delà de lundi. Rappelons que la France a déjà connu de tels épisodes à cette période de l’année : en 2005, 2017, 2022 (43,4°C avaient été relevés à Biscarrosse), ou encore l’an passé… seulement au XXIe siècle, donc.
Celle-ci sera en tout cas la 52 e vague de chaleur en France métropolitaine depuis 1947. Elle survient quelques jours seulement après un épisode de chaleur inédit en mai . Les deux ne sont pas directement liés, et ils ne laissent rien présager de l’été qui arrive... Mais ils s’inscrivent dans un contexte global de réchauffement climatique qui rend ces phénomènes plus fréquents, plus précoces donc, et plus intenses, selon Christelle Robert.
La France se prépare en effet désormais à un réchauffement de + 4 °C sur le territoire métropolitain d’ici la fin du siècle (qui est la trajectoire de réchauffement retenue pour élaborer son plan national d’adaptation). Dans ce scénario, Météo-France prévient que les jours de vagues de chaleur pourront être dix fois plus nombreux que dans les années 1990. Ces périodes de chaleurs persistantes pourront « apparaître dès la mi-mai et s’étendre jusqu’à fin septembre » .

France 24 (Français)State / PublicCenter7 days ago It will be warmer than late May starting Wednesday, perhaps a heatwaveFrance's meteorological institute has indicated that starting mid-week, there could be an episode of heat, possibly even a heatwave. This would be earlier than the previous record set in late May. The criteria for defining a heatwave include specific temperature thresholds over three consecutive days. The upcoming heat event is expected to occur around the summer solstice, when days are longest, potentially leading to higher temperatures.

According to Météo-France, this event would meet the criteria for a heatwave if the National Thermal Indicator (ITN) exceeds 23.4°C for three consecutive days, with at least one day reaching 25.3°C. This follows an earlier heat episode in late May, which did not qualify as a full heatwave.
