February 2024, 9th consecutive month to break a monthly heat record in the world, according to Copernicus. In France, rain replaced snow.
The winter of 2023-2024 is already the 3rd warmest ever measured in France. The planet had a heatwave in February with four days in a row above the 2°C mark of warming since the industrial era, the highest limit of the Paris agreement. In certain parts of the country, particularly in the north, the impression of a “rotten winter” dominates many minds.
