When will it stop raining in France?

"To say it's wet in France at the moment is something of an understatement. Since January 14th the country has recorded 36 consecutive days of rain - the most since detailed records began in the 1950s. The seemingly endless rain has led to widespread flooding, especially in the south west of the country where rivers including the Garonne have burst their banks and hundreds of acres are underwater."

"High-pressure conditions return to the south of the country at the start of the week beginning February 23rd. Initially, the weather will be dry in the south and occasionally unsettled in the north. In the second half of the week, the disturbed weather could spread southwards. Temperatures will initially be very mild for the season, before falling back towards normal by the end of the week."

Since January 14 France has recorded 36 consecutive days of rain, the longest streak since detailed records began in the 1950s. The persistent rainfall has caused widespread flooding, with the south west particularly affected as rivers including the Garonne burst their banks and hundreds of acres became submerged. Storm Pedro brought winds up to 90 km/h and additional rain across large areas. The 15-day forecast shows continued wet conditions, with some weekend improvement and limited sunshine in the south, but rain is expected to return next week across much of the country through March 5. Only coastal south-east areas are likely to remain relatively dry.
