La température ce samedi 17 février après-midi excède les normales de saison de 7°. 

T-shirt and sunglasses are required this Saturday February 17 in Montpellier. And for good reason: the Languedoc capital holds the heat record today in France. The thermometer displays 20° this afternoon i.e. 7° more than the average during this winter period. 

Montpellier this time beats Perpignan, the Roussillon capital accustomed to record heat and drought in recent months. 

An abnormal situation over time

Appreciable for onlookers, this heat record worries climate experts. The doctor in agroclimatology does not fail to share his observation on L'Héraultais also notes that "February 2024 will be the 25th month above the standards in a row in France". 

Consequences ? Early varieties, like almond trees for example, are already in flower and therefore exposed to frost.
