L’année 2025 s’est imposée comme l’une des plus chaudes jamais enregistrées en France, avec 279 jours plus chauds que les normales et plusieurs records de température battus, rapporte franceinfo. L’année 2025 a été marquée par des températures élevées en France. Selon les analyses de FranceInfo publiées mercredi 31 janvier, 279 jours ont été plus chauds en France que par le passé (entre 1971 et 2000). La chaleur n’est donc plus un épisode ponctuel mais durable, car elle est aussi bien perceptible en hiver qu’au printemps ainsi qu’en automne. Elle est l’un des effets concrets du changement climatique. Selon l’analyse des données Copernicus réalisée par l’AFP, l’année 2025 figure parmi les trois années les plus chaudes jamais mesurées, avec plusieurs records absolus de température battus dans le monde. Au total, 120 records de températures mensuels ont été battus dans plus de 70 pays. Au Sahel et en Afrique de l’Ouest, les températures étaient supérieures de 0,7 à 1,5 °C à leur moyenne saisonnière. Des années à venir encore plus chaudes Les conséquences de cette chaleur sont nombreuses : sur le plan sanitaire, les températures élevées augmentent les risques pour les populations vulnérables. En ce qui concerne l’agriculture, les sols sont plus secs, ce qui exerce une pression sur les ressources en eau, le rendement et sur la biodiversité. Selon Météo France, les prochaines années s'annoncent encore plus chaudes : "La température moyenne annuelle de 2025 serait dépassée plus d'une année sur deux dans une France à + 2,7°C à l'horizon 2050 et quasi systématiquement dans une France à + 4°C à l'horizon 2100".
