- Much of southern France could see highs of 30C to 33C, with local peaks of 34C.
- Northern areas will remain cooler but mostly summerlike, with temperatures around 22C in Lille and 25C in Strasbourg.
- Warmer air moving north from the south could bring a sharp rise in temperatures and a potential heatwave during the first week of September.
Heat will intensify across France on Wednesday, while calm and mostly sunny weather holds over much of the country. The south will record the highest temperatures, with highs commonly reaching 30C to 33C and possible peaks of 34C in the hottest areas.
The north will remain cooler, though conditions will still feel summery for the season. Lille is expected to reach 22C under relatively cloudy skies, while Brest and much of the northwest will also see cloud cover. Strasbourg should reach about 25C, with changeable skies, clouds, bright spells and a small risk of rain.
The air mass is expected to grow warmer over the coming days, especially in the south. A progressively warmer flow moving north could push high temperatures into more regions. Whether the event meets the criteria for a true heatwave will depend on its intensity, geographical reach and, above all, its duration.
