The second month of the summer vacation started with gloomy and cooler weather, but the trend will be reversed. At the end of the first week of August 2025, temperatures will again increase with a scorching risk over the southern half of the country.
More than 35 degrees from Thursday
This Tuesday, a “weakened” disturbance, as Météo France describes it, goes on part of France after a warmer day Monday.
As of Wednesday, temperatures start to go up with a “heat that is still classic”, explains Guillaume Séchet, meteorologist and founder of the Météoo- Villes.com site. It is From Thursday that the heat will really settle, he specifies to actu.fr.
The heat arrives through the southwest and the south (the south of France, editor’s note), where it will make more than 35 degrees. On the rest of France, we must expect a mercury around 30 degrees.
The heat will then intensify on Friday with more than 30 ° C throughout France and more than 35 ° C on all departments south of the Loire.
The temperatures expected until August 11, 2025 (the higher the area, the higher the temperatures), according to the European UKMO HD model. Map of Météociel.
A heat wave on the southern half?
According to the meteorologist, we can be «Quasi Certain» that we will have a heat wave in the southern half of the country. “It will be more than 35 degrees every day, which will be painful for holidaymakers and residents,” he warns.
We must also expect tropical nights, that is to say nights when the night temperature does not descend within 20 ° C.
For the meteorologist, this return of the hot weather is therefore to be taken seriously.
It is a major episode which is quite worrying. We go to a long episode of hot weather, at least ten days.
On the contrary, over the northern half, the hypothesis of a heat wave is much less certain. “An ocean current will possibly infiltrate and partially repel the heat. »»
“Thunderstorms will be rare”
According to Guillaume Séchet, you should not expect large thunderstorms as after the heat wave in early July.
Thunderstorms will be rare, there could be a few this weekend but it is not certain. The weather will be generally very dry and very sunny.
This anticyclonic episode should last at least until August 15according to the meteorologist. As for the weather for the second part of August, it is still uncertain.
