If you feel like the rain has been endless in France recently, you're nearly right - the country has broken a record with 36 consecutive days of rain since the start of the year. Météo France on Wednesday revealed that a record has been broken - since January 15th there hasn't been a single day when it hasn't rained in at least one part of France.
Starting on Saturday June 21, nearly 20 extreme-weather records were broken in a single day, including in Mitchell, SD, which broke its daily high when temperatures climbed to 104 degrees.
A drought has officially been declared in northwest England after the UK experienced record dry weather this Spring. Low water levels in rivers and reservoirs saw the region enter low drought status on 21 May.
