Yellow skies, dusty cars, and a desert vibe right in the heart of the city: the Sahara is making a (not so unexpected) appearance in Lyon this weekend!

For a few days now, the thermometer has been acting up with summer-like temperatures flirting with 28 degrees. If you thought you were living in July, you weren't dreaming!

A bipolar weather change in just 48 hours
This Friday evening, the weather cocktail promises to be spicy: winds carrying Saharan particles, possible rain that could turn every drop into a sandy trace on car bodies, and a sky with yellowish hues that might just take a dramatic turn. Because starting Saturday, the atmosphere is set to change. Météo France predicts thunderstorms, and not just any thunderstorms!

After the sand, the lightning. A bipolar weather that will take us from desert to storm in just 48 hours. So this weekend, between car washes, keep an eye out (but not too much from the windows): the Lyon sky might just show you all sorts of colors.
