Auvergne Weather Forecast

Except for two days of sunshine, it has rained incessantly here in the Auvergne since I arrived a week and a half ago.  Mind you, I am not complaining, for even with gray clouds the landscape is rather spectacular.
One of the things I appreciate so much about spending time in the countryside is the wide expansive view of the sky and the amazing cloud formations in the distance. I miss that when I am back in Brooklyn.

Here is another shot taken from the same tower. This one shows the famous Puy-De-Dôme volcano in the distance.

The weather is supposed to improve in the next few days.  I hope. Along with the dark clouds, the temperature has been hovering in the low 60s and at night, I sleep under three blankets, since it dips down into the low 50s.
