The heat intensifies, record temperatures expected: the weather forecast for this Saturday

Records were broken on Friday, and the thermometer will continue to align records this Saturday.

Because the day will be marked by the generalization and amplification of the heat wave throughout the territory, according to forecasts from Météo France.

After a stifling night - between 16 and 21 degrees in the northern half and on the South-East and especially between 21 and 25 degrees on the south-western quarter and more locally in Corsica - the current temperatures are very high, already 25° at Toulouse at 7 a.m., 21° in Île-de-France…

42° expected in the Southwest

During the hottest part of the afternoon, the temperatures will be stifling.

They can reach 38 to 42 degrees in Midi-Pyrénées, New-Aquitaine, Pays de la Loire, Centre-Val de Loire, Île-de-France and Burgundy.

The thermometer will show 34 to 39 degrees in Brittany, Normandy, Hauts-de-France, Grand Est, Franche-Comté and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

We also expect 33 to 35 degrees in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

The temperatures, although hot, will be more reasonable in Corsica with 30 to 34 degrees.

On the coasts of Languedoc-Roussillon, on the other hand, it will be 26 to 30 degrees.

On the coasts of northern Brittany and the Channel coasts, between 22 and 27 degrees.

Clouds will bud over the Alps in the afternoon, culminating in locally thundery showers.

The autan wind will set up in its domain and will blow up to 60 to 80 km/h at peaks.

The southerly wind will be moderate in the Rhone Valley.

Finally, in the evening, the northeast wind will strengthen over Brittany and the Channel coasts.

This particularly painful episode should soon come to an end: next night, temperatures should start to drop significantly.
