Quiet morning under a few clouds to the north

The day begins under a cloudy sky from Brittany in Hauts-de-France, on the Pyrenean Piedmont and in certain valleys of Auvergne and Rhône-Alpes. Elsewhere, the sun is largely present, especially in the south, with mistral and tramontane that blows in Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence up to 70 km/h in gusts.
The temperatures at daybreak range between 9 and 17 ° C from north to south, and already beyond 20 ° C near the Mediterranean.

A beautiful summer afternoon, very hot in the south

Under the effect of the highly installed anticyclone of azores, the good weather asserts itself throughout the country. The last clouds of the Côtes de la Manche in the center are fading to make way for a generous sun. Mountain areas, including Alps and Pyrenees, see cumulus developing.
On the temperatures side, they are very pleasant: 18 to 22 ° C to the north, 26 to 28 ° C in the Southwest and up to 32 ° C locally in the Mediterranean region.

A sweet and bright evening

The sky remains perfectly cleared in the evening. Temperatures remain raised in the south, with a still sensitive heat in town at nightfall. An ideal summer atmosphere to enjoy the outside.

And afterwards?

The thermometer goes up in the coming days. A new heat wave could concern the south of the country from Thursday. The sun will remain omnipresent, with a risk of high temperatures on a large southern third of France.
