The main weather feature that will affect France later this week is a low pressure system over the northern Atlantic. This system will start well away from the northwest coast of France, then track slowly northeast through the weekend, ending up north of Scotland by Sunday. Ahead of this system on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, temperatures will be quite warm, reaching the 80s and 90s F (30s C). A weak upper level disturbance will cross northern France on Thursday morning, bringing scattered light showers and cooler temperatures with increased cloud cover. Friday will be hot with mostly sunny skies and highs in the lower 90s F, mid 30s C. As the low pressure system gets closer, it will push a cold front across Le Mans that could bring some showers on Saturday morning. This far out, the timing is uncertain, and how much rain falls is still unclear. There could be wet conditions to start the race. Once the front moves through, the rest of the race should be dry with cooler temperatures.
