The mercury continued to plummet this Friday morning in the Haut-Rhin. According to site surveys Info climat, it dropped to -16.2 ° C at 7 a.m. at the Bâle-Mulhouse station, i.e. 9 ° C less than the day before at the same time, to -13 ° C at Rimbach-près-Masevaux , -9 ° C in Colmar-Meyenheim or -8.9 ° C in Mulhouse itself. And the impression of “felt cold” is further accentuated by the wind, underlines the Alsatian design office Atmo-Risk.

Like the day before, when a switch had to be thawed with a blowtorch in Erstein, this cold caused disturbances on the rail network, with, in particular, “many technical problems that arose near Lutterbach”.
Although we were not used to such temperatures for years, they are still far from the records, which happily pass below the -20 ° C mark, in the Haut-Rhin as in the Bas-Rhin.
