If this is the new 'norm' weather wise, I think we will have to consider purchasing somewhere else.

It's one of the reasons we moved north from Maine et Loire after 18 years as the summers tended to be long, hot and dry. Prior to that, we had a secondaire for 4 years just south of Saumur. The first year we had it, there was no rain for 5 months.
In general the climate here is perfect for us, mild in winter with the occasional frost and not too hot in summer.

The small amount of rain has topped up the underground tanks by 400Lts so that's some use.

WE had a light splash of rain last night. Not enough to make any major impact on the levels in the water butts but at least enough that I did not have to go round watering last night.

I hope they're not just teasing us, but the forecast says rain (and big storm) on Saturday, followed by three or four days of heavy rain.

That should at least cool things down somewhat,fill some water butts, and hopefully green things up a bit and any run off getting to the rivers.

It might have been covered previously, but is it forbidden to use your wells to water any plants.

Hot, no rain or cloud, only a gentle breeze.

On the plus side we think we've fixed our pool leak.

Our well is nearly done for only the second time in 25 years.

According to TF1 weather forecast, rain is due all over France next weekend, just in time for the 15 août !
I'll believe it when I see it ...

I hope, but don't think so
