Record du mois de juin le plus chaud, record du mois de juillet le plus chaud en France ! À lui seul cet effarant bimestre juin/juillet 2026 est en train d'assurer une 1ère place au classement des étés les plus chauds en France. Graphe Arkus forum infoclimat.fr forums.infoclimat.fr/f/topic/6118...

Mise à jour avec les données du 31 juillet. Le "sur-été" continue, depuis le 15 juin. Aujourd'hui est le 48ème jour consécutif. Le cumul de chaleur "surestivale" dépasse la valeur de toute l'année 2003 depuis le 18 juillet.

Mise à jour avec les données jusqu'au 16 juillet, soit la moitié de l'été météo. La courbe 2026 du cumul de degrés jours de sur-été est largement au dessus de toutes les autres. Aucun été antérieur ne peut tenir la comparaison avec cette première moitié d'été infernale.

1. We—@eduede.bsky.social, @mjcrockett.bsky.social, Kevin Gross, and I—have a new preprint on the arXiv today, based on ideas that emerged during an @sfiscience.bsky.social workshop in November 2024: The unintended consequences of large language models as a labor-augmenting technology in science.
