Since January 20, the thermometer has displayed 4 to 6°C above the seasonal averages across France. In Céret (Pyrénées-Orientales) this weekend, the Catalans were able to observe record heat: 27.5°C.
However, the weather is disparate across the territory: the south-eastern third, from the Alps to the edge of the Mediterranean, presents sunny weather. The heat also affects the melting of snow, and the little powder present above 1800 meters of altitude.
