Brittany is clearly not famous for being the warmest swimming spot. And the data that we are about to reveal to you point in this direction. Already known for the freshness of its waters, the Breton coast displays lower than average temperatures at the end of May. Because according to Météo Bretagne, the sea had not been so cold for ten years in this season. Some examples ? The thermometer would not exceed 13 ° C in La Baule (Loire-Atlantique), 12 ° C in Douarnenez (Finistère) and Saint-Malo (Ille-et-Vilaine). As for the sublime pink granite coast, it currently displays a delicious 11 ° C. Ideal to come and grab your calves.

To find such freshness, you have to go back to 2013! Imagine a little. During the same period last year, the bathing areas benefited from temperatures three degrees higher. The consequences of a radiant weather that we will remember for a long time as it bathed our first confinement. In 2021, the trend is therefore quite different. Heckled by a cold winter and a very wet spring (no, but hello May), Brittany is proving to be cautious this year. “We are coming out of winter and the warm air masses have not yet warmed up the sea, which is only beginning to warm up. The water takes much longer to heat up than the air and the temperature fluctuations are low between winter and summer, ”explains Météo Bretagne.
