Here in France, big storm here and unexpected by authorities.
Several people included kids were hit by a lightning on yesterday in a park dowtown Paris. One child remains in critical state.
Rain, rain and rain again with no interruption from yesterday afternoon here around Paris. And it seems from what I've heard that many regions in France are hit by inondations and damages on agricultural areas. And rain will not stop the next night, nor the next day. I feel that something is really happening now, something people will have to face, in a way or another. With tragical consequences.
Roland Garros, the famous tennis tournament is hit by so much rain that there is no match and they said that they never lived something like that, and someone asked for the link between the "Global Warming" and what were are erperimenting. ;) Pretty interesting, to see others outcroping the truth.
They also have been hit by cut in transmission during the violent storm and lightning we had on yesterday afternoon, for several hours. I am not sure I ever experimented something as intense as it was.

Very warm and sunny here in Macedonia last 2-3 days. Temperatures are going up in the middle of the day up to 32-33 C and 12-15 in the morning. There are forecasts for some local storms in the days ahead .I hope nothing powerful and scary will come out of that.
Le soleil et la douce chaleur sont revenus sur la Côte d'Azur en France Sud Est... Nous sommes des privilégiés car il pleut trop un peu partout en France, des personnes sont déplacés car leurs garages et maisons sont inondés, les vignobles souffrent beaucoup et les vendanges ne seront pas bonnes...
The sun and the warmth returned on the French Riviera in South East France. . . We are privileged because it rains too everywhere in France, people are displaced because their garages and houses are
flooded vineyards suffer much and the harvest will not be good. . .

Not as bad as mainland Europe, but flooding has hit the UK; it was predicted stormy weather starting yesterday, Monday, with lightning predicted too.
But there's also been lovely weather in other parts of the UK too, with temperatures up to 17-18C and sunshine.

10 hrs ago
SEVERE flooding has hit parts of Southend after hours of heavy rain.
Hartington Road, Southend, outside the Benson's Guest House is completely flooded.
There are also reports of flooding on the seafront, outside the Happidrome Arcade.
The roundabout near Southend Airport is severely flooded, as is Sutton Road, as well as Lower Road and Watery Lane in Rochford and Claremont Road in Westcliff.
Rochford Council has also been notified of overflowing storm water in Grove Road, Rochford, and Trinity Road, the junction with Warwick Road, Rayleigh.
Rochford Council say they have reported the flooding to Anglian Water and any issues from the flooding will be raised at the next meeting of the Flood Forum.
Paul Thompson, the chairman of Southend Seafront Traders Association thinks not enough is being done. He said: “This is the fifth time the seafront has flooded since city beach was built. The council are not doing enough, there is no contingency plan for when this happens.
“The roads are supposed to be closed but they aren’t. The cars are washing water into businesses.”
Dona Shand, 36, who lives in Snakes Lane, Southend has been effected by the flooding. She said: “It’s heart breaking to see your garden destroyed by the rain and wind. The flooding has been quite bad this time.
“There have been workmen outside my house, trying to protect our houses because there is a brook which has burst its bank. Hats off to them because they have been working really hard. Thankfully it hasn’t come into the back of my house so far, but a few years ago it was quite severe.
“I have taken my two children to the gym to try and forget about the flooding for a few hours.”
Flooding on the roundabout near Southend Airport
On Canvey there is reported flooding in Eastern Esplanade at the corner with Furtherwick Road, Zider Pass and May Avenue.
There are also a number of fallen trees across the county due to the rain and surface spray on many roads.
Flooding on Canvey
Business owners have been affected by the floods. Sue Thomas, 54, owner of Sue’s Café, Furtherwick Road, Canvey said she has watched the water get deeper this morning.
She added: “This should be a busy day for us here at the café but it will be dead for us.
"I will be looking at cancelling staff for today as I will not be needing them to work today.
"The water outside my café is over the curbs and it is covering the footpaths and we cannot see the edges of the footpaths anymore because of the water.
"I think the flooding has got worse on this part of the island over the last five years. It seems that the infrastructure just cannot cope with the amount of water that has fallen over night.”
Canvey councillors said they have spoken to residents and have had complaints from residents whose homes have been flooded because of the heavy rainfall.
Residents in Merlin Court, Canvey were left with sewage in and around their homes.
A severe weather warning is in force due to the risk of storms and flooding.

Paris flooding: Seine is overflowing – Fear of Centennial (100-year) floods?
By Strange Sounds -
Jun 1, 2016
The water level on the Seine River flowing through Paris has increased by more than 4 meters due to recent heavy downpours.
Roads along the shore of the Seine have been closed. High river levels are expected to last through Friday.
In some parts of the world, water is unexpectedly draining away, while in some others it is overflowing like in Paris, France right now!
The Seine River has overflowed embankments in Paris as floods hit or threaten cities and towns around France.
Paris City Hall closed roads along the shore of the Seine from the southwest edge of the city to the neighborhood around the Eiffel Tower as the water level has risen 4.3 meters (14 feet 1 inches) higher than usual.
City authorities are warning residents and visitors to be vigilant Wednesday around the river banks, and said high river levels are expected to last through Friday.
Heavy rain has caused delays at the French Open, forced the evacuation of two prisons and prompted thousands of rescue operations from the Belgian border south to Burgundy.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve urged people to exercise the “greatest caution.”
Specialists say we are far away from a the centennial flooding.
The last 100-year floods occurred in 1910, when the water rose 8.5 meters, inundating a quarter of the French capital during one month.
Heavy rains should stop on Thursday and summer-like weather should be back on Saturday.

Floods: At least 9 dead in Germany, France always feet in the water

Floods wreak havoc
The body of a man was discovered, said later the same source, without specifying whether it was one of the missing. Sunday and Monday, heavy rains had killed four people in this country. Epicenter flooding Wednesday Simbach-am-Inn began to see the water level down in the streets of the city that sometimes rose to the roofs, 'the level drops, but many homes are still flooded,' according the spokesperson.
It is in this small town close to the Austrian border as rescue divers found three victims in a house of the same family: a wife of 56 years, daughter of 28 years and mother of 78. A few kilometers further, in Julbach is a 80 year old woman who died washed away when his house collapsed.
Thursday, logs and trunks of a wood stock of a sawmill were swept along by the water in the center of town where most businesses were ravaged by water and by these tree trunks smashed storefronts .
The water is substantially removed. At mid-day, only the main street of the city remained flooded and residents were busy cleaning the mud accumulated in their home.
In neighboring Austria, firefighters intervened several hundred times in Western countries on Wednesday but the situation was almost back to normal Thursday.

Situation 'tense' in France
In France, the Paris region and the neighboring department of Loiret (center) were still on alert Thursday morning as the weather service warned that more rains were expected.
The situation remains 'tense' and 'difficult' in 'many areas' acknowledged the Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who came to see the damage in the flooded streets of Nemours, one of the most affected towns 80 km south of Paris . The water has exceeded the most flooded historical levels in 1910 place (4.25 m).
'It's been 60 years that I lived here, I've never seen that,' commented, flabbergasted, Sylvette Gounaud, used a small supermarket in the city.
Mr. Valls announced the creation of 'a special support fund' for victims. Some spent the night on cots in a gym, as Nemours and Longjumeau. In these cities, the boats sail between the downtown streets flooded since Wednesday afternoon and bring on land private residents of electricity and heating, noted AFP photographers.
At Moret-sur-Loing, made famous by the paintings of the Impressionists, 'the mills on the islands have water up roofs', described the town councilor of the municipality where 150 to 200 people had to be evacuated from Wednesday.
Even more to the west of Paris, the Chateau de Chambord has its feet in the water. Again and throughout the department, students were asked to stay home.

The Zouave of the bridge of Alma, June 2, 2016.
And according to the town hall, the Seine will continue to rise and could reach the next weekend in the capital a peak between 5.10 and 5.70 meters.
Weather disrupted the ambience usually hushed French Open, the only major tennis tournament without protection against rain, where players have said their anger Wednesday against the repeated interruptions. ' A scam ! , 'Commented the Spaniard David Ferrer.
The situation improved in contrast to Belgium, after significant rains in the night of Monday to Tuesday, that put under water many caves in the northwest of the country, along the French border. But the rain could return, as in Poland where new storms are expected Tuesday.
