Andorra Records Warmest Winter Ever with 20°C+ Highs
Unseasonal warmth hits Andorra after snowy months, with temperatures above 20°C at high stations; mild trend continues amid avalanche risks.
Key Points
- Borda Vidal and Roc de Sant Pere hit above 20°C, highest since October.
- Warm air mass causes surge after snowfalls; trend persists next week.
- Andorra la Vella: 14-20°C highs; Pas de la Casa above 5°C until Friday.
- Yellow avalanche alert for northern region through Wednesday.
Andorra has entered its warmest winter period to date, with stations at Borda Vidal and Roc de Sant Pere logging temperatures above 20°C on Sunday—the highest since 22 October.
After months of persistent snowfalls and storms, this unseasonal warmth stems from a stable, warmer air mass that has triggered a broad temperature surge. Meteorological service records confirm the near-21°C readings at those sites, conditions rarely seen at this time of year.
The mild trend is set to continue into next week, barring a minor drop on Wednesday when Saharan dust is forecast to linger in suspension. In Andorra la Vella, highs should fluctuate between 14°C and 20°C. Higher up at Pas de la Casa, temperatures will hold above 5°C at least until Friday.
Avalanche dangers persist amid the thaw. Meteo Andorra activated a yellow alert for the northern region on Monday, running through Wednesday night.
