The heatwave is going to hit hard this week in Paris and all over France, with a peak temperature of 38°C expected in the capital.

We hope you’re ready and have already gotten yourself a competition fan, because you’re going to need it in the coming days! Between Monday, June 30, and Wednesday, July 2, 2025, the capital – and the whole of France – will experience a heatwave of significant proportions, the 50th since 1947. Except for a few lucky ones in the West and Northwest, 89 out of the 95 departments that make up the Hexagon have been put on orange alert. 

Different measures have been taken at the national level: « 200 public schools out of the 45,000 in the country will be closed tomorrow », stated the Minister of Education, Élisabeth Borne, on Sunday, June 29, 2025. In the capital, the police department is urging people to avoid using their cars and is implementing traffic restrictions by lowering the speed limit by 20 km/h. Let’s take a look at what the weather has in store for us this week.


Days between 28°C and 37°C

The heat is on this Monday, June 30, 2025, with 35°C expected in the afternoon, as announced by Météo-France. At night, temperatures won’t drop below 28°C. It’s on Tuesday, July 1st that the real heat wave will...

Heat peak will be reached, with a morning temperature of 34°C and an afternoon temperature of 37°C. Don't expect a cool down by the end of the day, as 33°C will still be felt in the evening and 28°C during the night. On Wednesday, July 2nd, it’s another round of 34°C expected during the day. However, temperatures will finally drop in the evening. A cozy 20 degrees is forecasted for the night, making it the perfect time to leave your windows open.

This will allow us to enjoy a few hot days, but with temperatures closer to seasonal averages. On Thursday, July 3rd, we can expect 28°C during the day, while Friday, July 4th, will bring us 29°C, and Saturday, July 5th, will be back to 28°C. Get ready for Sunday, July 6th, as it's going to be quite a drop: temperatures won't exceed 22°C. At night, they'll even dip to 16°C. 


A sunny week before the return of the rain

Such a decrease is mainly due to the highly anticipated return of the rain at the very end of the week. But until Sunday, July 6th, the weather will be beautifully clear: sunshine, sunshine, and more sunshine. You know what that means? We need to stay vigilant and enjoy it while it lasts!

cool off in fresh and shady places, slather on some sunscreen, and drink lots and lots of water.
