Many temperature records fell this summer, during a very hot summer season in France. 2022 was not far from dethrone 2003 and its intense heat wave. And if autumn has been here for almost a month, the weather still likes to book historical scenarios. This time, for a month of October.
Minimum temperature record beaten in Montauban…
The night and early morning of Monday October 17, 2022 were mild, very mild, in a large part of the South of France. So much so that historical values have been approached… or even exceeded! A Montauban (Tarn-et-Garonne), the thermometer did not drop below 20.9°C. The minimum temperature record for the month of October in the Tarn-et-Garonnaise prefecture has quite simply been beaten! The previous one was 20.4°C October 16, 1988. Still in the 82, the town of St. Vincent also experienced the last historic hours (19.9°C this morning, against 18.4°C on October 14, 2019).

… and close to Toulouse
The sweetness did not spare Toulouse.
If, with a minimum temperature of 20.5°C recorded this Monday morning, it has never been so mild on a morning of October 17 in the Pink City, the mildness record for a minimum temperature for the month of October does not was not beaten… But he was close.

However, the timing of these two data is limited, since the historical record dates from the beginning of October, while the 20.5°C observed on Monday is much later. “This 20.5°C seems all the more exceptional since we are on the 17th, we are more in the second ten days of October”, continues Météo France.
