“It’s like being in Provence”: in the harbor of Brest, this Monday under 39°C in the shade will be remembered

“It feels like an oven. It’s barely noon and it’s already 36 degrees! Around Brest (Finistère) and its harbor, which is nevertheless well exposed to the winds, we hear the same refrain everywhere. At 1 p.m., the Brest Guipavas meteorological station already recorded 35.8°C in the shade, a record of 35.2°C dating from 1949 beaten. At 5 p.m., the temperature will rise to 39.3°C.
