An impression of summer before its time. After a very sunny extended weekend across the country, what should we expect this week in terms of the weather? The meteorological summer begins this Thursday, June 1 and the weather will be in tune in a large part of France, according to La Chaîne Météo, according to which “the heat remains relevant” this week. The weather will be dry in the North, but stormy in the South and many departments will not escape thunder and lightning today and tomorrow. Météo France has also placed 29 departments on yellow vigilance for thunderstorms from this Tuesday noon until the end of the evening. You can consult the list of territories concerned under our article.

While waiting for the arrival of the storms, many French people will have to get used to the mildness, even the heat, because the thermometer will exceed 25°C in certain territories. Here are the maximum temperatures expected this Tuesday, May 30:

Temperatures will rise a notch from this Wednesday, May 30 and will not drop by the weekend. The Weather Channel predicts “summery, sunny” weather, particularly in the northern half of the country. Temperatures will be at “full summer” level, depending on the site, with minimums ranging from 11°C to 17°C and maximums ranging between 25°C and 27°C.

Thunderstorms are also expected this weekend, particularly Sunday June 4, in a large part of the territory. Before their arrival this weekend, it will be necessary to be careful in these 29 departments, already placed in yellow vigilance to storms by Météo France.
