Storm Arrives in France Affected Farms In W23

Last weekend on 4 June in France, the stormy episode seriously affected certain farms whose harvest could be compromised. For farmers, the disaster of hail is added to other difficulties encountered in recent weeks, after the hottest and driest ever recorded in May in France. The damage was noted across France, with "more than 40 departments affected by hail". The productions most affected are vines: table grapes and cereals.
For farmers, the scourge of hail adds to other difficulties encountered in recent weeks, after a month of May classified as the hottest and driest on record in France, an unusual heat episode made more likely by climate change. However, the link between storms and climate change remains uncertain. "It's the year of superlatives: the hottest, the driest, and now with the most hail".
