France Heads for Sunny, Mild Weekend Under Persistent High

A stubborn British Isles high points to an extended dry spell with rising concern about April's rainfall shortfall.

Overview

  • Forecasters say most of the country will see dry sunshine both days this weekend with only thin high clouds at times.
  • Daytime highs will run above normal and often top 20°C, reaching about 23°C around Paris and near 25°C around Perpignan.
  • In Hauts-de-France, mornings will be 4–7°C with afternoons rising to 17–21°C under light winds.
  • Isolated thunderstorms are expected Sunday near the Spanish border in the Pyrenees.
  • Météo France expects the dry, sunny pattern to persist for about 15 days, a forecast that heightens concern over an unusually dry April.
