Toulon and the surrounding area are set for a hot and very bright Wednesday, with temperatures climbing quickly from an already warm morning into peak afternoon heat. The day also stands out for a strengthening west-to-northwest wind, with gusts expected to become much more noticeable later on.
Morning heat arrives early
The morning begins under clear skies and still humid air, with temperatures already around 27 to 28 °C at sunrise. By late morning, the heat is expected to intensify sharply, reaching 35 °C as the wind shifts from almost calm conditions to 10 km/h and then 20 km/h, with gusts up to 40 km/h.

Afternoon brings the strongest conditions

The wind direction is expected to rotate from west-northwest to west, and humidity is set to rise again during the second part of the afternoon. According to www.ouest-france.fr, the clear sky will continue into the evening without any real change in weather conditions.
Warm evening, then a mild drop overnight
Evening temperatures remain very high, starting near 36 °C and slipping only gradually toward 32 °C by the end of the period. The wind should weaken from 20 to 25 km/h down to about 10 km/h, while gusts fall from 65 km/h to around 30 km/h.
During the night, the calm pattern continues with a clear sky and very little cloud cover. Temperatures are expected to ease from 31 °C at the start of the night to 28 °C before dawn, while the wind stays light at 5 to 10 km/h.
Thursday starts the same way
The next day begins in the same dry and sunny pattern, with temperatures already close to 27 °C before mid-morning. Winds stay weak early on, then gradually strengthen through the day, reaching 20 km/h by late afternoon as the air becomes more humid again.
For residents in Toulon and nearby towns, the main takeaway is simple: intense heat, strong sunshine and gusty winds will dominate the day, with little sign of cloud cover or disruption to the overall dry weather pattern.
