Heatwave to havoc: Beachgoers flee ‘tsunami cloud’ as temperatures plummet 15C

► Within minutes a nice day at the beach on the Basque coast turned bad – howling 70 km/h winds stirred up a ‘tsunami cloud’ sending parasols and inflatables flying and beachgoers running for cover. In less than 10 minutes, temperatures plummeted to 15C on Sunday, as swimmers were enjoying highs of 38C. Video footage shows people blanketed in sand, along the usually sun-drenched shores of Hendaye Biarritz, in France. The weather phenomenon, called an ‘Enbata’, is a sudden, violent coastal storm with strong west or northwest winds is common in the region. Known in French as a ‘galerne’, it occurs when a rapid influx of cool maritime air causes temperatures to suddenly and significantly drop. #storm #beach #weather #heatwave ► Have you subscribed to 5 News?: http://bit.ly/5NewsSub ► Follow 5 News on Twitter to keep up to date with the latest news - https://twitter.com/5_News Message us on Facebook to share your opinion - https://www.facebook.com/c5News See our latest pictures and videos on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/c5news/ ► About 5 News: We bring you the stories that matter to you, from around the world and across the UK. 🎥 We post daily playlists with the biggest news of the day, interviews, special reports and investigations. 📺 Catch us on TV on Channel 5 every weekday 5-6pm 📱 Get in touch with us on WhatsApp at +44 7555 500 501 🎧 Listen to "How Did We Get Here?
