Overview
- The high over France, which forecasters emphasized Thursday, is driving a calm, dry spell that lasts into the weekend.
- Daytime highs climb to about 21–26°C nationwide with peaks near 27–28°C in the south and southeast, including Provence and the Rhône valley, and winds stay light.
- Northern and northwestern areas, especially Brittany and Normandy, retain a chance of weak, intermittent rain from a disturbance near the Channel.
- Sunday brings cooler conditions across the northern half with many spots near or below 20°C, while evening storms could develop from the Pyrénées-Orientales toward the Toulouse area and the Basque Country.
- Forecasts after the weekend remain uncertain, with a possible shift in the high that could open the door to cooler air and a few showers next week.
