Recent forecasts from multiple models, including GFS and European guidance, converge on a maximum temperature of 23–24°C in Paris on August 22 under northerly flow and building high pressure that limits daytime heating. Partly cloudy to overcast skies and light winds further suppress peak values, aligning closely with the market’s strong 49% implied probability on 23°C and 27.5% on 24°C. These conditions follow a cooler, unsettled pattern earlier in the week, keeping temperatures near or slightly below the late-August climatological average of roughly 24–25°C. Minor model spread around afternoon cloud cover and boundary-layer mixing explains the smaller probabilities assigned to 22°C and 25°C, while extremes remain negligible given the stable synoptic setup. Updated runs and official briefings over the next 48 hours will likely refine the final maximum.
