Weather in Paris
No sign of global warming today - it's cold and wet again. I suggest that
Mixy supplements his fly-fishing vest with a pair of waders.

I like this kind of weather, apart from the rain (but we need the rain).
I hope it stays cool all summer.

Last summer just got too much for me. You know the kind of weather where the
excertion of just making a cup of tea drenches you in sweat.

We are in for at least another 5 days of off and on rain, below 20°C
highs in Paris.
The headline in Le Parisen today is;
Mais où sont passés les juillettistes ?
Campings et hôtels loin d'être pleins, départs raisonnables sur les routes,
le constat est clair : les Français ne se précipitent plus en vacances début
juillet. Responsables : l'école, la météo et des congés raccourcis.
Où sont passés les juillettistes ? Nous ne sommes certes que le 9 du mois,
mais la question mérite d'être posée. Car les alertes se multiplient. Sur la
Côte d'Azur, « le démarrage de la saison ne se fait pas sentir sous les
meilleurs auspices », avoue Jean-Robert Houët, président du Club des
hôteliers du Mentonnais.
Go do http://www.leparisien.fr/home/index.htm
for anything else.
Oh yes, the fait diver of the day is:
*****
Il tue un codétenu et lui mange la cervelle
LES DETENUS et les surveillants de la prison de Saint-Maur (Indre) sont sous
le choc. Dimanche soir, ils sont plusieurs à avoir assisté à un meurtre
d'une sauvagerie incroyable. Ahmed B., un prisonnier de 36 ans, a fracassé
le crâne d'un codétenu avant de commencer à lui manger la cervelle avec les
mains.

YUCKY FRENCH GOOD, AGAIN.

I know that kind of weather very well indeed, and I do not enjoy it.
The world is getting warmer, so we should enjoy cool weather when it
comes. One day it won't come anymore.

That's more a matter of the French becoming a little less robotic in
their habits, and staggering their vacations by a few milliseconds
instead of all jumping into their cars at exactly the same instant to go
exactly the same places for exactly the same periods.
I think the French should stagger vacations throughout the year, instead
of obstinately doing everything in July or August. I've never seen much
point to a month and a half of _continuous_ vacation spent burning in
the sun next to a beach, anyway.

Or maybe just changing times. I doubt that the weather has anything to
do with it, since the weather is impossible to predict more than 48
hours or so in advance.

You're not the first to express this view. The problem is that if you have
kids you are tied to the school vacation periods, the longest of which is in
the summer, and the weather is best in July and August. Outdoor activities
are simply not as pleasant when it's pouring rain.

Europeans have not discovered that ice can be _made_, and is not just a
accident of weather.

Americans and other Europeans have the same constraints, and yet they
manage to take vacation at other times of the year besides July and
August.

Most of them do take their holidays in July and August though- that's
why it's _peak_ season, after all.

I wouldn't put it past the French to sell water as "liquid ice" in an
attempt to hornswoggle unsuspecting consumers....

From all reports, that might make a pleasant change from the past two
summers!

"Heard of", probably. "Consider drinkable", probably not. :-) It's an
acquired taste, even here in the U.S. - especially now it comes in fruit
flavors, like raspberry and peach. (Why couldn't they just stick to
lemon?)

And a great deal of the world's "coastal areas" will be underwater, due
to the melting of the polar ice-caps.
