Question 14306 — climate

Summary

Mr. Pierre Morel-À-L'Huissier questions the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, on the fate of the Mont Aigoual meteorological station. Existing since 1894 and the last meteorological observatory still inhabited, this exceptional site is unique in its kind. Opened free to the public in 1986, it has since enabled 3 million people to discover the mechanism of climatic phenomena and the profession, essential but unknown, meteorologists through a museum which has no equivalent in Europe. The forecasts established are more detailed than those published by the Gard prefecture, where the climatic conditions are different. Although the station is certified by the World Meteorological Organization, its readings are no longer used by Météo France, which plans to drastically reduce its staff, raising fears of an imminent closure. While the responsiveness of the alert system was called into question during the violent floods in Aude, and specialists warn of too loose a coverage of the territory, it seems that meteorological stations like those at Mont Aigoual are of particular importance. He therefore wishes to ask what measures are planned to guarantee their sustainability.
