Thanks.
Yeah, 50°C / 122°F heatwaves in Paris by 2050 to me sounds too low for city planning. Even "by late 2030s" as proposed now sounds too low.

#Lytton in West Canada already hit 50°C . It's 200km further North of the equator than Paris. Lytton hasn't got the microclimate of 100 km2 of buildings, their air conditioning units and hot air release, cars, and paved surfaces.
But both locations can suffer heatdome conditions, and the jetstream funnelling in desert heat from 1500km further South.

50°C in Paris to me sounds plausible for summer 2026.

Among other things, this good new documentary with Rockström, Daniel Swain, Reto Knutti and Erich Fischer (who is IPCC lead author for AR7 chapter "Projections of regional climate and extremes") also explains the meteorological ingredients of Lytton's 50°C event

Your 'moment of doom' for Aug. 18, 2025 ~ Sooner than expected.

"Given updated decadal warming rates currently estimated to be in the region of 0.34C to 0.40C per decade, such 50C heat waves could even occur as soon as the late 2030s, 11 to 12 years earlier than 2050."
