Weatherday: La France rentre à Paris, chez elle

Looking wet through the day, with some pretty heavy rain in the early and mid-afternoon. Fresh winds from the south will veer westerly and become strong.

Highest temperatures of 16deg in the morning will slip down to 13deg by early evening. Forget the gardening.

On this day in 1944, the German Army surrendered their occupation of Paris, and General Charles de Gaulle took back the War Ministry building.

Headline is a quote from General de Gaulle's speech when he re-entered Paris.
