A heat wave will set in in the south of the country on Wednesday, and the sun will be generous, except for stormy showers in the center-east, according to Météo France forecasts.

In the morning, in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes and in the south of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, the sky will be cloudy and isolated but locally stormy showers will occur.

In the afternoon, the weather will become heavier.

From the Massif Central to the Jura and as far as the Alps, thunderstorms and showers will strengthen and become more frequent.

In the Pyrenees, on the other hand, the showers and thunderstorms will be less strong.
