This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 80%. (I'm a bot)


> France has matched its record dry spell of 31 days without significant rainfall, the country's weather service said Tuesday, amid concerns over water reserves in parts of Europe still reeling from last year's severe drought.

> With rainfall over the entire country of less than one millimetre a day since 21 January, weather service Meteo France said the absence of precipitation equals the record set in spring 2020.

> The previous record for a winter dry spell in France was 22 days in 1989.

When I went over in the summer and it was bone dry then. France better hope for an extremely wet spring.

It's raining outside my satellite office in Lyon, France right now. Guess the dry spell is over.

France has an extensive system of reservoirs and canals, hopefully 31 days won't have harmed crops.
