The Paris heat wave is expected to ease starting Sunday, June 28 , with a more noticeable drop in temperatures and a gradual return toward seasonal conditions during the week of June 29 to July 5. Forecasts cited in recent coverage say the hottest stretch should be over by the weekend, though the east of France may stay hotter a bit longer.

Quick scoop

  • Saturday, June 27: still very hot in Paris and Île-de-France, around 37°C.
  • Sunday, June 28: the first real relief is expected, with daytime highs dropping more clearly.
  • Next week: temperatures should trend back toward roughly 25–30°C in the region.

What that means

Paris is not looking at an instant cool-down, but rather a step-by-step easing. The sharpest heat should pass first in western France, while some hotter conditions may linger longer farther east.

Safety note

Even as temperatures begin to fall, it is still wise to stay cautious with hydration and midday sun exposure through the weekend.
