It was hot in Languedoc and Roussillon this weekend. "A quasi-spring atmosphere has reigned since Friday", underlines Roland Mazurie, head of Météo France in Montpellier, who notes that during the day, we witnessed a "rise in mercury in thermometers worthy of April" . Temperatures have flirted with 25 degrees, 10 to 12 degrees above seasonal norms.
Thus, in Hérault, Sunday, the temperature reached 24.4 ° C in the town of Pézenas, which beats the old record of 23.5 ° of February 22, 2019. And we recorded 24.1 ° C in Saint-Jean-de-Minervois, the old record being 23.8 ° C on February 27, 2019.
Last heat this Monday
In the Gard, 25.9 ° C was recorded in Montclus and 25.4 ° C in Vigan. "These are also new records for a month in February," said Roland Mazurie.
But, says the head of Météo France in Montpellier, “[this] Monday should be the last day with such spring temperatures, since we should see the return of a more consistent weather at the end of winter this week, otherwise tomorrow Tuesday, but as of Wednesday, with strong wind and temperatures close to normal.
