Hot here means 33.9 °C or above, a level about one summer day in twenty used to reach at this station between 1971 and 2000. The bar has not moved; the number of days clearing it has. Every year is counted to 8 August, so a part-finished summer is never set against complete ones. That threshold is Bordeaux's own. It is not a national standard and it is not comparable with another city's: every figure on this page is measured against this station and nothing else.
23 nights so far that never dropped below 20 °C, against 0.8 in a typical 1961-1990 summer by this date. That is 1st of its 77 summers.
The hottest day of Bordeaux's year, to the same date. 2026 is the hottest on this record too, by this date, at 42.5 °C. Both the count and the peak are records here, which is not true everywhere: a count and a peak are separate claims and each carries its own rank. The previous best was 41.2 °C in 2019, the dot on the drop line, and a typical summer here peaks at 35.2 °C.
