Instant Meteo — Regional Thematic Weather Maps of France

Thematic maps provide a nationwide overview of meteorological contrasts between northern and southern France, oceanic coastlines and mountain ranges, with filters by parameter and elevation band.

Cartographic Analysis of Atmospheric Parameters Across France

National thermal map and regional contrasts

Visualize temperatures across major cities, coastal stations and high-altitude peaks, with elevation filters to isolate plains (< 400 m), mid-mountains or alpine summits.

Wind fields and regional acceleration corridors

The wind map highlights large-scale atmospheric flows and regional wind corridors such as the Mistral in the Rhône Valley, Tramontane in Languedoc-Roussillon and Atlantic gales in Brittany.

Spatial distribution of rainfall and climate anomalies

Compare rainfall and thermal departures from seasonal norms across all 13 French regions.

Frequently Asked Questions — Thematic Maps

How can I zoom directly onto my region or mountain range?

Use the quick-selection bar for the 13 French regions or the summit bar to frame the map instantaneously.

What is the purpose of the elevation filter on the map?

It allows comparing stations at similar altitudes so relief-induced cooling is not confused with a lowland cold front.

Can I switch the basemap between satellite and topographic relief?

Yes, buttons in the top-left corner of the map let you toggle between standard street view, topographic relief, dark mode and satellite imagery.
