🔴🔵 Le Parc des Princes va retrouver toute sa splendeur vendredi soir face à Monaco, puisqu’il retrouve enfin une des meilleures pelouses d’Europe 🏟️ Jonathan Calderwood a dû agir rapidement et a prospecté dans toute la Grande-Bretagne pour dénicher une denrée devenue rare en ces périodes de canicule. C’est en Irlande, du côté de Dublin, que le jardinier du PSG et son équipe se sont déplacés pour tester et dénicher le meilleur gazon. En 3 jours, 700 rouleaux de pelouse ont été acheminés, posés et testés au Parc pour répondre aux exigences techniques de Lucho 🇪🇸. (Le Parisien) #ParcDesPrinces #PSG #Monaco
In the face of the heat wave, we don't even have a window shutter plan, we have a "survival cover for the windows" plan. In the face of the fires, firefighters are fighting without protective hoods. Our elites have failed, and for a long time. They no longer protect the French people. (translated)
On ajoute de l’inédit à l’inédit. Après mai, juin, juillet et août… voici septembre ! Dès demain, les températures approcheront de nouveau localement les 37-40°C dans le sud de la France. Certains records mensuels pourraient être battus de plusieurs degrés, avec une facilité devenue déconcertante. Les pluies apportées récemment par les orages n’auront offert qu’un répit. Avec le retour de la chaleur et d’une forte évapotranspiration, les sols vont rapidement perdre une partie de cette eau. Nous pourrions ainsi atteindre le niveau d'humidité des sols le plus bas jamais observés à cette période de l’année. Nous ne sommes d’ailleurs plus très loin des seuils de la vigilance orange canicule. Si elle venait à être déclenchée, la France aurait connu des vigilances orange canicule sur cinq mois différents en 2026. La plus précoce, la plus intense, la plus durable… et peut-être désormais l’une des plus tardives. Soupir... #canicule #climat #météo
