The 0-degre isotherm, the minimum altitude at which the temperature reaches 0 ?C, was evaluated at 5,136 metres, well above the highest French summit.
The zero-degree limit in the western Alps has risen to 5,400 metres. The French weather service calls this "exceptional" for June. It means that the highest peak, Mont Blanc, is also melting, despite its height of 4,808 metres. The highest glaciers in the Alps are also proving increasingly vulnerable to global warming.
According to data relayed by the Keraunos Observatory, this Saturday the temperatures were positive at the top of Mont-Blanc. In the Alps it was necessary to climb to more than 5,100 meters of altitude to find a temperature of 0 degrees. A new situation so early in the season. - Heat: positive temperatures measured at the top of Mont-Blanc, a "record for a month of June" (Weather and weather).
The Mont Blanc peaks at about 4,806 meters. And at this altitude, it is generally cold. Most of the time, below 0°C. But for a few days, the thermometers have panicked over a beautiful part of our Europe.Europe will have one of the most unusually warm air masses on the...

Heat records broke as the freezing line climbed to 5,136 meters. | Image: Meteo Valle d’Aosta Instagram Europe’s high-alpine zones just experienced something that’s never happened this early in the year: temperatures above freezing at nearly 5,250 meters (17,200 feet). In a record-shattering heat event, the “thermal zero”—the elevation where temperatures in Celsius drop below freezing—climbed to its highest ever recorded level for the month of J…
In Spain 46 degrees were measured, in Sardinia 41 degrees. In Paris and parts of Germany up to 40 degrees are expected in the next few days. If you are looking for cooling, you have to go higher and higher. But: The air temperature at Mont Blanc at over 4700 meters has also risen above freezing point.
