Snow
blankets parts of Europe
A
few days before summer starts, much of the continent is still in
winter's grip.
France's
meteorological centre said on Friday that the winter-like weather
that has gripped much of Western Europe was likely to continue into
June.
With
snow in the plains of Switzerland, record cold in the Netherlands and
a distinct lack of sunshine in France and Germany, meteorologists say
Western Europe is suffering from "exceptional" weather for
this time of year.
According
to Meteo France, the country's meteorological centre, Western Europe
could experience a brief respite from the bad weather at the weekend,
but there will be no marked improvement for the next 10 days at
least.
"It's
what we call a block in meteorology, with a large area of low
pressure wedged over northern Europe, bringing wind from the north
and northeast," said Mr Olivier Proust, a forecaster at Meteo
France
