New record ! This Friday, the thermometer exceeded 25 degrees in Brest (Finistère). Bad tongues will say that this had never happened in the history of the city of Ponant. This is partly true. No, it had never been so hot on April 10, specifies Météo-France, which classified this Friday as "a day of heat" since exceeding 25 degrees.

According to forecasters, the previous record was set in 1997 and 2011 with 24 degrees. This April 10, 2020 is also beating the earliest heat day ever observed, Météo-France specifies. The previous "record" dated April 14, 2015, when the thermometer had displayed 25 degrees. "This value is 12 degrees above the normal for April," said Météo France. In Rennes, more than 26 degrees were recorded today.
