Much of France was suffocated on Monday at the start of this second summer heat wave. This scorching episode was the source of exceptional temperature peaks, especially in the southwest, where twelve departments had been classified as a red vigilance by Météo France. This was translated into measurements, with 41.6 ° C recorded in Bordeaux – absolute record – or 41 ° C in Toulouse. This episode is not about to stop since 16 departments will still be on Red alert on Tuesday …
In Brittany too, the thermometer has climbed, at levels certainly much less but still notable for the region. We have the most sweat in the south of the Ille-et-Vilaine, where the values went up to the Noah-Blanche up to 35.8 ° C according to the data from the sky weather site. Elsewhere, we even came close to 34 ° C in Rennes, Gallet sector. The south-eastern Morbihan was not outdone either with 34.2 ° C measured in Sarzeau.
The North Brittany islands, sanctuaries of freshness
If we study the data from historic Brittany, it is however in Loire-Atlantique that the Mercury has climbed the most strongly. Proof of this is, the 39 ° C bar was thus reached in Saint-Philbert-de-Grand-Lieu, south of Nantes! He also made 38.2 ° C at the Pallet, a commune located between the metropolis of the Dukes of Brittany and Clisson. In Nantes, the heat was such that it did up to 37 ° C this Monday afternoon.
As expected, to enjoy the fresh air in Brittany a bit, it was necessary to retreat north of the region. In the Côtes-d’Armor first, where he made 25.2 ° C in Saint-Cast-le-Guildo or on the island of Bréhat. Also in Finistère, taking a boat ticket for certain Ponant islands. In Ouessant, he made up to 22.3 ° C, while in Batz, the mercury has never mounted above than 21.7 ° C.
