The wettest town in France in 2021 is located in Cantal
But winter is still present, and should be noticed by the end of next week, with a cooling worthy of that of December 21 and 22, where the cold season was remembered to us by extending his gel coat.
The most upset by these temperatures is Mother Nature, since already, in places, the spring bulbs are emerging their first stem. Hopefully the trees don’t bud too early, as the likely spring frosts could do some damage.
