If the record sunshine in January in Nice was able to delight terrace lovers, its effects on the environment are also felt.

The prefecture of the Alpes-Maritimes is alerted on Tuesday to "the state of drought of the vegetation" which could facilitate the occurrence of fires.

It therefore decided to pronounce "the ban on all burning of plants until February 20, 2022".

Absence of precipitation and episodes of wind

“The climatic conditions observed since the beginning of 2022, characterized by the absence of precipitation, by episodes of wind and a very limited snowpack, lead to a state of dryness of the vegetation conducive to the emergence and the spread of forest fires” thus note the services of the State.

The burning ban "may be extended beyond this date if the weather conditions so require", it is also specified.
