Winter of 2023-2024 is the third warmest ever measured in France, Météo France says. With a thermal anomaly of +3.6 degrees, February 2024 is the second hottest February in history after 1990 (+4°C) January was the eighth month in a row to be the hottest ever recorded in the world, according to the European Copernicus observatory.

Despite everything, in certain parts of the country, particularly in the north, the impression of a “rotten winter” still dominates many minds.
