France will be hit with a combination of storms, rain, and cloudy skies this week.

Despite the start of the meteorological summer on June 1, all regions are set to see decidedly spring-like conditions following last week鈥檚 (mostly) warm and sunny weather.

Temperatures will struggle to rise after last weekend鈥檚 drop, remaining slightly cooler than average alongside the lack of sunshine until at least the weekend.

Monday June 2 

Thunderstorms are set to cover most of France from the south-west to the north-east, hitting the Rh么ne Valley and central areas. 

These storms - caused by a clash of warm southern air rising from the Mediterranean and cooler winds from northern Europe - are likely to peter out by evening and are only expected to last overnight in the Alps.

Elsewhere, Normandy and Brittany will remain calm and sunny, and the south-east will remain free of rain although skies are likely to be grey throughout the day. 

As of 08:00 on Monday, no heightened weather warnings have been put in place by state forecaster M茅t茅o France.

There will be highs of between 18C and 20C in most areas, rising to 24C along the Mediterranean. 

Tuesday June 3 

Storms will again cover areas from the Pyr茅n茅es to Alsace, striking across France in a north-easterly pattern. 

These are not expected to bring intense rainfall, but sustained rainy conditions. 

Rain will move into the north of France along the Brittany and Normandy coastlines, but is unlikely to penetrate too far inland, leaving cities such as Rennes, Paris, and Lille mostly dry. 

The Mediterranean will be warmer than the day before but will be mostly cloudy except in the south-east around Nice where ample sunshine is expected. 

Temperatures of around 16C - 18C are expected along the coastal north, rising to 20C - 23C inland across most of France. 

Highs of 27C along the Mediterranean are likely, mostly around Marseille despite cloudy conditions.

Wednesday June 4 

The storms along the Pyr茅n茅es will continue, although some will move eastwards into the Occitanie region and along the Mediterranean before reaching the Italian border, as well as moving into central and eastern France.

It means most of the south, including the Alpine areas around Lyon, will face storms at some point on Wednesday.

Bordeaux and Toulouse should remain free from storms, although morning showers are possible in the latter. 

Elsewhere, rain from the English Channel is likely to once again cross into France, this time reaching Paris and Reims throughout the day.

Temperatures will drop again following the brief spike on Tuesday, struggling to reach 20C in most areas. 

Only Lyon and the south-east 鈥� under the stormy skies 鈥� will reach higher than 20C, up to 23C in Nice. 

Thursday June 5 

Storms are largely set to clear from the south, although showers are still possible in the Alps and Pyr茅n茅es. 

Temperatures will rise to between 23C and 25C, however skies are set to be cloudy across the south.

In the north, rain will sweep in from the English Channel, covering up to the Loire Valley and down to La Rochelle. 

Due to the rain, temperatures will be lower, between 16C and 19C in most cases. 

Showers are set to continue intermittently throughout the day. 

Friday June 6 

Forecasts are less certain towards the end of the week, but it is possible that thunderstorms will return to the Pyr茅n茅es, crossing central France to reach the German border by evening. 

At the same time, thick grey clouds and rainfall will cover the north, and showers and less-intense but still prominent white clouds will impact Brittany and the western coast. Rain will fall as far south as Bordeaux. 

The south-east and Mediterranean is expected to remain unaffected and remain warm and sunny. 

It could reach up to 30C along the coast, and higher in Corsica.
