As the heating temperature rose and our layers of clothing accumulated, umbrellas and hats became essential parts of our daily lives. The city of Bordeaux has received the equivalent of 6 months' worth of rain in just 60 days. With 536 mm of rain falling in 2 months, Bordeaux has reached 58% of its normal annual average.
Gironde Hit Hard by the Deluge
In an exclusive interview with Sud-Ouest Bordeaux, the antennaThe regional weather center of Météo-France located in Mérignac specifies: « Since our data exists, since 1921, it has never rained so much for two consecutive months. Since October 17, half of the annual precipitation has fallen »

The Arcachon Bay is also affected with the equivalent of half a year's worth of rain accumulated. This has forced the Eloa drainage network to operate in crisis mode since October 24.
