The week begins with hot and humid weather dominating much of the region from north to south, as sultry conditions persist. The sun will shine brightly during the early part of the week, especially around the Mediterranean. However, the heavy and humid atmosphere may trigger increasing instability.
By evening, storms are expected to form in the west and sweep across northern areas. Daytime temperatures will soar above 30°C in many locations, with a notable feeling of thick, oppressive air. Bourges (Cher) is forecast to hit highs of 35°C.
Weekend Outlook:
The intense heat may start to subside by Saturday, but stormy weather is likely to expand, particularly affecting the northern and western regions.
