“France Breaks Monthly Cold Record,” says the headline on meteo.bzh. However, if I’m reading the actual article correctly, I think it was a daily record rather than a monthly record.
Even so, it still broke the August 30 cold record for the third time in 9 years.
Is this the beginning of a trend in Brest-Guipavas?
Here’s the Google translation of the article:
“A monthly cold record has just been broken in Brest-Guipavas in Northwest France, where a minimum temperature of 5.8 ° C (42.4F) was recorded.” The previous record dated from August 30, 2018 with 6.4 ° C, which beat that of August 30, 2011 when it had been 6.6 ° C.
“The station is located at Brest-Guipavas airport.”
