| Bad Weather in Western Europe Likely to Continue into June | |
| 2013-05-26 | |
With snow in the plains of Switzerland ...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell... , record cold in the Netherlands and a distinct lack of sunshine in La Belle France and Germany, meteorologists say Western Europe is suffering from "exceptional" weather for this time of year. According to Meteo La Belle France, the country's meteorological center, Western Europe could experience a brief respite from the bad weather at the weekend, but there will be no marked improvement for the next 10 days at least. "It's what we call a block in meteorology, with a large area of low pressure wedged over northern Europe, bringing wind from the north and northeast," said Olivier Proust, a forecaster at Meteo La Belle France. The temperature fell to 3.7 degrees Celsius (38.6 Fahrenheit) in Gay Paree on Friday morning, the lowest temperature recorded on that day since 1887. The Netherlands has also experienced similar bouts of cold. Germans, meanwhile, are getting 50 percent less sunshine than they would at this time of year. Unseasonal rain has also pummeled several countries, disturbing events such as the Cannes Film Festival in La Belle France. | |

| #6 "Bad Weather in Western Europe Likely to Continue into June" Works for me. If I have to freeze my ass off in Central Virgina (fercryin'outloud) in late May, might as well spread the joy around.* :-( *No offence to our European 'Burgers - if I could figure out a way to make all y'all's days sunny and warm, I would. |
