> **Visual Context:** This dashboard visualizes the thermal impact on energy consumption and taxation in France from October to December under an El Niño scenario (+3.7°C anomaly). It projects a 51.9 TWh drop in energy use (16.0 TWh from gas, 36.0 TWh from electricity), resulting in €2,017M in lost fiscal revenue—comprising €1,089M from excise taxes and €928M in net VAT—illustrating how warmer temperatures reduce heating demand and corresponding state tax income over 75 effective heating days.

> "The El Niño phenomenon releases the heat accumulated in the oceans. Starting in June, it went from +1.6 °C above normal in June 2026 to +2.5 °C in August.

For October, November, and December, it should reach about +3.7 °C and peak around December.
