the hot weather is back in Nord-Pas-de-Calais this weekend
While temperatures have dropped sharply since Wednesday, Météo-France predicts 30°C in several towns in Nord-Pas-de-Calais this Sunday.
The lull was short-lived. Nord-Pas-de-Calais was hit by a heat wave at the start of the week, like the whole country, with temperatures around 40°C in Lille or Arras. Many records were also broken on Tuesday: it was 39.9°C in Le Touquet as well as in Calais and 39.6°C in Boulogne-sur-Mer.
But since Wednesday, the mercury has dropped drastically and the sun has given way to clouds, even precipitation. Only 22°C were expected at the best of the day this Tuesday in Lille, 21°C in Calais or 23°C in Arras, more than 10°C lower than the temperatures of.
30°C expected Sunday
The mercury will rise slowly at the end of the week. 25°C are expected in Lille on Friday, 26°C in Arras or 27°C in Valenciennes. Thunderstorms are also expected for this last day before the weekend. Then on Saturday, the temperatures will rise a few more degrees without exceeding 30°C.
It will be even warmer on Sunday and blue skies will make a comeback. Meteo-France forecast 28°C in Calais, 30°C in Lille, Arras or Cambrai and 31°C in Hazebrouck.
The temperatures will nevertheless go down from next week and the blue sky could give way to some disturbances.
