The fever has broken

It's raining this morning. What a relief! For now it's a steady, moderate rain, but the chance for thunderstorms is 50 to 75 percent for much of the day. We won't get enough rainfall to break the drought, but it has already broken the fever. On Accuweather, the highest temperature in the long-range forecast for Saint-Aignan is a couple of 30ºC days toward the end of August. We're pros now; those won't bother us.
