It has been raining continuously in #France for 37 days (thanks to global warming), the longest period since 1959. Those who are lucky only have damp walls, but many parts of the western country are flooded.
Even here in the mountains in the east, the ground is so saturated that you cannot walk on soil without high wellies.
But all that water is no protection against summer droughts! And for the mood ...

https://meteofrance.com/actualites-et-dossiers/actualites/37-jours-de-pluie-consecutifs-sur-le-pays-une-serie-inedite@NatureMC We've had two continuous months of snow.
