All heat records are broken this summer in the Southwest. A new one has just been exceeded. On the night of Thursday August 11 to August 12, the thermometer approached 30 degrees in some towns in our region. In Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), it is warmer than in Andalusia.
Open windows, aeration, hydration, air conditioning, ventilation, we are looking for freshness by all means at the moment, including at night. Hard, stuffy, suffocatingadjectives abound to describe the last night in Toulouse.
The 3rd heat wave of the summer continues to rage. The thermometer showed records from Thursday August 11 to Friday August 12. 29 degrees in the center of Toulouse tonight, that is 3 degrees higher than in Andalusia!
As a result, awakenings are complicated. The heat does not come down enough between day and night. Our bodies are struggling to recover. A heat wave that continues to rage. Dry nights that will continue at least until Sunday.
In this context, the departments of Haute-Garonne, Gers, Lot, Hautes-Pyrénées, Tarn and Tarn-et-Garonne are still placed in heat wave orange vigilance this Friday in Occitania.
Although this heatwave episode is less intense than those of June and July, it lasts longer across the territory. Yesterday, Thursday afternoon, the 40°C mark was crossed in the Hautes-Pyrénées, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Landes, Gironde and Dordogne.
This Friday morning at 5 a.m., it is often still over 20°C around the Garonne river. There are more than 25°C in the Gers.
These high temperatures will continue this Friday afternoon, since the maximum temperatures will still be displayed at 38 to 40 ° C in Occitania. This should be the peak of this heatwave episode.
The night temperatures are therefore still high, but as of tomorrow, Saturday, they have proven somewhat less.
