First Drought Now Rains As Storms Hit France England

Winds of more than 100 km/h (60 mph) were recorded at the top of the Eiffel Tower during a flash flood on Tuesday, and similar winds were forecast for Wednesday in the southeast.
Hail hit Paris and other areas in Tuesday’s sudden storm.  Rainwater poured onto subway stairs and platforms, and cars crashed along embankments where the Seine River burst its banks.
In southern France, storms overnight and on Wednesday flooded Marseille’s Old Port and the city’s central court and forced the closure of nearby beaches.
As scattered storms swept across Belgium on Wednesday, one flooded parts of the historic city of Ghent after weeks of unrelenting drought.
London and other parts of southern England were hit with torrential rain and storms after one of the driest summers on record, which saw the country hit its first temperature of 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) last month.
There was widespread flooding as rainfall fell on dry ground.
Despite the rain, much of Britain is still officially in drought.  Thames Water, which supplies 15 million people in and around London, says the ban on lawn and garden watering will come into effect on August 24.
Much of Western Europe has experienced a period of extreme weather that scientists attribute to human-induced climate change.
Amid storm warnings, French President Emmanuel Macron postponed an event on the French Riviera on Wednesday to mark the 78th anniversary of a major Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France.  Rescheduled for Friday.
The dramatic rainfall ended weeks of record heat that left much of France parched, rivers dry and dozens of villages without running water.
Across much of Europe this summer, a series of heat waves have exacerbated a critical drought, creating prime fire conditions.
Rain in recent days has eased the burden on firefighters battling France’s worst fire season in a decade, although emergency authorities said scattered fires continued to burn Wednesday in southwestern France.
