These low clouds or poor visibility will disappear quickly, but a few mists or low clouds will resist longer on the coasts of northern Brittany and the beaches of Cotentin.

Over the Pyrenees, cumulus clouds will develop and stormy showers, overflowing with Spain, are possible in the afternoon.

In the Massif Central, or even the Jura, possible stormy downpours can occur very locally.

Elsewhere, the sky will be clear.

At dawn, temperatures will start from 10 to 14 degrees in Brittany, Normandy and up to the Belgian border.

Elsewhere, it will be 14 to 19 degrees, up to 20/24 in the South, with even 26 in Cagnes-sur-Mer.

Highs will climb to 20-25 degrees along the English Channel.

Over the rest of the northern half, it will be 27 to 33 degrees.

In the south, the thermometer will oscillate between 34 and 38 degrees, while, locally, on the lands of Provence and Gard, 40 degrees are reached.
