Hello from France! France is not a country particularly well known for its weather although some parts of France are locally known for being really rainy (Bretagne, for example).
In our country, the weather is mostly sunny in summer with temperatures up to 35°C, although in winter, these temperatures can be quite freezing, reaching -5°C or even worse! Mid-season in France is usually a mix between cold and warm weather and between sunny, windy, foggy, rainy, and cloudy skies, especially around March and August. Some regions of France have a mediterranean climate due to the proximity to the sea. The weather there is quite warm in summer and the winters are known to be pretty soft.
France also faces a lot of environmental problems such as wildfires, heat waves, and drought. For example, temperatures this summer elevated to 45°C which is very unusual and problematic. It caused a lot of problems in agriculture, destroying 50% of some corn fields. Also, this summer, a lot of forests burned down and, due to the lack of rain, these fires lasted weeks and weeks. And, of course, France is affected by the rising sea levels which are causing more and more erosion. It's also causing more and more floods and strong winds that destroyed many houses and trees this summer in numerous places, such as Corse (a French island near France).
One of the main solutions to these problems is to try to limit global warming. For this, the French government created laws, such as a law that forbids plastic bags in supermarkets replacing them by reusable or paper bags. Hopefully, these measures will help reduce pollution and carbon emissions.
In conclusion, we can say France is a country with a pretty average climate but, due to global warming, the weather is probably going to change during the next few years, making global temperatures a lot hotter and having a very important ecological impact. But, thankfully, governments are taking environmental problems into account and trying to reduce them.
