No rain on the French plain

The rain in Spain may fall mainly on the plain, but in France right now, it's not falling anywhere.


French Farmers Face Worsening Drought; Northern Soil Is Driest in 50 Years

"Soils in the country’s northern half, where grains, grapes and rapeseed are grown, were the driest in 50 years at the end of April, the Environment Ministry said in a report today. The quantity of water stored as mountain snow was “very inferior” to the average from 1995 to 2005 as of May 1, it said."

Grapes as in --- wine? No doubt, this is REALLY serious now.
