A sort of “iron curtain”… meteorological. While France is shivering at the start of the week, with negative temperatures throughout the day in part of the country, Europe is freezing on the other side of a strip cutting Germany in two. In Île-de-France, in the north and east of the country, the mercury reached around -2°C in the early morning this Monday. At the same time, it was down to -25°C locally in Poland, the Baltic countries, Russia and Scandinavia, regions which are admittedly more accustomed to freezing temperatures than we are.

Oslo came close, for the fourth consecutive day, to the symbolic bar of -20°C this Monday morning. “It’s truly exceptional for a winter! Many electric buses do not run, because the batteries are not adapted to such cold, and some schools are closed,” says Erik Aasheim, a fifty-year-old who lives in the Norwegian capital.
