These are the earliest 35 ° C ever measured in France. Due to a foehn effect (hot and dry wind) on the Basque relief, a peak was recorded at 35.4 ° C this Monday at 3 p.m. in Cambo-les-Bains, south of Bayonne (Pyrénées- Atlantic).
According to Météo-France forecaster Etienne Kapikian, this is not only the earliest 35 ° C in France, but also a national record for the first decade of May.
