It is the beginning of a parenthesis of nice and warm weather in France. This Wednesday is both the first day of the long bridge of May 8 and the Ascension, but it also marks a change in time compared to the last few days.
After a rainy and cooler than normal sequence and before next week which also promises to be rainy, this Wednesday is generally marked by the sun and a thermometer trending upwards. A few showers could nevertheless take shape in the East; a localized thunderstorm is also possible in the South-East, as shown in this map of Meteo France.
Maximum temperatures begin to gradually rise. This Wednesday afternoon, it is particularly in the Occitanie region, by the sea, that they should peak. It will thus be 23°C, or even a little more in Hérault and Gard. In this department, the Alès sector should be the hottest with 24°C, only one degree below the so-called heat threshold. There felt temperaturewhich takes into account wind and humidity conditions, will reach this bar of 25°C in the Gard city.
In Hérault, it is around Saint-André-de-Sangonis that it would be the hottest with 24°C. Unlike the hottest area in Gard, the feeling could remain below the threshold of 25°C.
Along the Mediterranean, it will also be up to 23°C in the Pyrénées-Orientales as well as in Bouches-du-Rhône. Less common, Brittany will also be one of the hottest places in France this Wednesday afternoon. It will be over 20°C almost everywhere, but in the south of Finistère it will be a temperature equivalent to that of the shores of the Mediterranean. In the sector of Quimper, it could be up to 23°C. Despite an overcast sky, the feeling could rise to 24°C, again very close to the heat threshold.
On Thursday, 25°C should be exceeded in several regions along the Mediterranean.
