Malgré des chutes de neige tardives en mai, la durée d’enneigement est déficitaire dans les Pyrénées cette année comme on peut le voir sur cette synthèse d’images satellitaires: On se souvient aussi de la tempête Filomena qui a blanchi le piedmont pyrénéen le 10 janvier, bien visible sur le graphique ci-dessous. Suivant une suggestion de […]
