I don't know at whatt will lokk rhis summer at france but the firsts signs looks bads.

[Cathy A]

Exact opposite here. We are in a long spell of rain, with at least 30% of rain predicted every day, and it rained all day yesterday without a break.

Which is actually normal April weather in New England, quite a change from the days of 80F degree (27 C) weather a week or so ago, which was very unseasonable.

[Kadence Luneman]

Similar here to Cathy. We had 80 and 85°F. I got pink, almost sunburn. Then highs of 60° if the clouds cleared. 49° today's high. Keep getting off and on rain and freezing rain.
No chance of it drying out. Rain forecast all week.

I finally managed to plant most of the remaining pea seed today. It was dry in early spring, but we're about to get a real mud season.

Gardeners have a love/hate relationship with rain!

[UnicornEmily]

(Laugh!)  So true!  Like with so many other things, moderation and small quantities spaced evenly over long periods of time is ideal.

We are completely sodden here, with massive snowbanks slowly dribbling away under flurries, drizzle, fog and rain that just ain't stoppin.   Could really use some 'normal' temperatures instead of the stuck trend well below.

[Richard Watson]

Had our first autumn frost (-1.6degC)cold enough to finish the potatoes which still had some flowers, had a good number of berries from them this growing season so thinking I might do a TPS sowing late winter

 1°C 33,8°F at some placements at france this morning.
The spain heatwave continue to advanced toward the south west of the france with placements at 30°C 86°F.
