News Weather

By Gilles MATRICONmeteorologist

This Monday, June 26, the heat drops a notch compared to Sunday due to the lifting of a sometimes sensitive north-westerly wind which sometimes causes the temperature to drop by 10°C in 24 hours. On the sky side, there are a few more clouds than Sunday, without affecting the impression of good weather.

To remember


drop in temperature compared to Sunday, except near the Mediterranean


lifting of the mistral and the tramontane to the south-east increasing the risk of fires starting


– despite a few clouds, especially in the morning, the impression of good weather is largely maintained




Evolution compared to yesterday


What changes compared to yesterday is the drop in temperature over 3/4 of the country, except in the south-east where the mistral and the tramontane have a foehn effect and cause the temperature to rise between 37 and 39°C from Provence in Languedoc. The other difference comes from the color of the sky, with greyness this morning in the southwest and a sometimes thick cloudy veil circulating in the north of France.






Details by region


North of the Loire, your sky is cloudy, without altering the impression of good weather. The northwest wind blows around 40 km / h in gusts, which has the effect of lowering the temperature compared to Sunday with a maximum of 23 to 28°C in the afternoon, i.e. 5 to 10° C less than yesterday. We will breathe well!

On the Mediterranean regions, mistral and tramontane rise and reach 60 km/h in gusts. They accentuate the heat. Due to the Foehn effect, temperatures reach 37 to 39°C in the afternoon, and locally 40°C in the Languedoc hinterland and the interior of the Var.
