Robust ECMWF and GFS ensemble guidance projects dominant upper-air ridging over Western Europe by May 10, signaling persistent warm advection into the Paris basin. 850hPa thermal anomalies consistently show +10-12°C isotherms, supporting surface temperatures comfortably exceeding 22°C. Historical thermal climatology for this date reinforces 22°C as a common thermal ceiling under favorable synoptic patterns. The probability of sustained insolation under a developing surface high is high. 95% YES — invalid if a sudden stratospheric warming event or severe frontal system reconfigures the large-scale pattern.
