Not seen any sign yet but we are having some pretty ordinary weather for summer here! Yesterday and today have been cold and damp so I went on gave the plants a spray which should ward off any problem for today but I see it is hosing it down again so tomorrow will probably be a reapplication. I try my hardest to minimise spraying but I have put in too much work to let plants perish when spraying will stop any problems. Terrible weather this summer though I doubt it has been better than what most of most of the UK has had which is odd.
It would surprise many just how much rain the area of France I live in actually gets. There are very few areas of England that get more. All of the areas that get as much are in the north west of the country, Scotland and Wales.

That is why asking why the south of England copes badly with freezing temperatures and snow by comparing to Canada is a poor question.

Yes we do get some incredibly hot and dry summer weather most years but when it rains here... well you have to see it to believe it. Fortunately I live at the top of the col not the bottom where people also have to cope with snow melt flooding on occasion... a few years back eight people drowned due to the combination of rain and snow melt. Boulders ten feet across were washed down the hills like pebbles and houses simply removed from the land incredible what a bit of water can do.
