Le temps variera entre précipitations et ciel dégagé, notamment le samedi. Le dimanche sera la journée la plus calme des deux journées où la tendance sera en amélioration.

According to Meteo France, this Saturday June 1st will be the most disrupted day of the weekend with temperatures often well below the seasonal averages. This Sunday, June 2, the sun will be present in more regions and temperatures will start to rise.

A Saturday in the rain

This Saturday, June 1, it will rain all day in many regions from the north to the south of France. They will be more intense in the north of the country and even more so in the East, but going down towards the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, they will be rarer. Sunny days will start to become more and more frequent.

The north-west of France and the edges of the Mediterranean should be generally spared from precipitation. However, an occasional storm could break out in the south of the Alps and a downpour could occur in Hérault.

Temperatures will remain low for the season. In the North, they will range from 14°C to 20°C and may be 7°C or 8°C lower to averages in the coolest areas. In the southern half, they will be close to normal with values ​​between around twenty degrees and 23 °C.

In the evening and overnight, the showers will gradually disappear. They will only last in the east of the country.

A Sunday shared between sun and clouds without rain

This Sunday, June 2, the rain will be less and the sun will gain ground. Precipitation, sometimes stormy, will tend to concentrate in a large northeastern quarter of the country as well as in the South-East. A few showers may also appear in the South-West near the Pyrenees.

In the West, North and North-West, the sky will be shared between sunshine, clearing and clouds without rain. The regions closest to the coast will be the sunniest.

Temperatures will increase compared to Saturday. In the north of France they will be close to 20 °C and therefore the seasonal averages. In the North-East, they will sometimes be close to 15 °C. In the southern half, except in the Massif Central, the values ​​will remain close to those of the day before, mainly between 20 °C and 23 °C.
