Last Thursday, already, a “coup de galerne” had hit the South-West of France; In a few minutes, the temperatures, however scorching, had dropped to 15°C.
This meteorological phenomenon, frequent in the departments located south of the Garonne, “consists of the sudden deterioration of atmospheric conditions with a marked drop in temperatures as well as a change of sector – to the northwest – and a sudden strengthening of the wind ( sometimes over 100 km/h). All this is accompanied by clouds and sometimes heavy rains”, notes Météo Contact. In question: a small “cold front” coming from the Bay of Biscay, specifies the site.
