A hat-trick from centre John Wilson helped earn the Catalans Dragons their second win over Castleford this season.
The sides were level at 12-12 before the French side produced a second half scoring burst for their first Super League victory in six matches.
Wilson, who had given the visitors an early lead, added two quick tries while Michael Dobson scored a 70-yard effort to make the game safe.
Castleford's only reply was a last-minute try by Danny Nutley.
Castleford coach Terry Matterson:
"I don't know what it is about Catalans that brings out the worst in us.
"There was a period in the second half when we were really poor.
"Both sides dropped a lot of ball, but the Catalans' defence was superior to ours."
Catalans coach Mike Potter:
"The conditions meant that the team making the least errors was probably going to win.
"To get 40 points is fantastic for us and a big boost for our confidence."
Castleford: Platt, Pryce, McGoldrick, Shenton, Dyer, Lupton, Davis, Fa'aoso, Henderson, Nutley, Manu, Roarty, Bird.
Replacements: Handforth, Viane, Huby, Ward.
Catalans Dragons: Guigue, Murphy, Wilson, Hughes, Verges, Frayssinous, Dobson, Fellous, Rinaldi, Guisset, Hindmarsh, Rudder, Jampy.
