We never know what the weather will be like from one day to the other. It can be sunny one day and rainy the next. As we have such a variable climate changing from day to day, it is difficult to predict the weather. In general we have warm summers and cool winters. Our summers are cooler than those on the continent, but the winters are milder.]]> 2018-12-18 08:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/marie_roussel4/a198v0cdomz7/wish/315432482 marie_roussel4 https://padlet.com/marie_roussel4/a198v0cdomz7/wish/315434711 2018-12-18 08:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/marie_roussel4/a198v0cdomz7/wish/315434711 marie_roussel4 https://padlet.com/marie_roussel4/a198v0cdomz7/wish/315435184 The countryside is in full bloom ]]> 2018-12-18 08:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/marie_roussel4/a198v0cdomz7/wish/315435184 marie_roussel4 https://padlet.com/marie_roussel4/a198v0cdomz7/wish/315435229 The time for outings and holidays.

• North wind - Arctic very cold
• East wind - Continental from Europe and Asia. The winds are cold and dry.
• South wind - Tropical warm.
• West wind - Maritime air has crossed Atlantic bringing cloud and rain. The winds are warm and wet.

Storm in a tea cup.
To get wind of something.
