The catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking in the massless weakly coupled QED in a magnetic field at finite temperature is studied. The temperature of the symmetry restoration is estimated analytically as T{sub c }{approx}m{sub dyn}, where m{sub dyn} is the dynamical mass of a fermion at zero temperature. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
