It notably made 25 ° C on April 10 in the middle of the afternoon. This exceptional sweetness does not date from the last rain since the specialist also notes that "the average temperature for the first four months of 2020 is the warmest ever observed with an exceptional difference of +2.4 ° C".
April was not cold but it was not dry either. Suddenly, this is good news in anticipation of a possible drought, the excess of precipitation is for the time being 50% in Comminges and the Pyrenean foothills and 15% from Lauragais to Volvestre. On the other hand, the Toulouse plain shows a water deficit of 20%.
