The Bureau of Geological and Mining Research announced Thursday forecasts of summer drought. As periods of rain become scarcer, groundwater will certainly be dry throughout the summer, except perhaps those of Brittany and Nouvelle-Aquitaine, which have experienced "consequent episodes of recharging" The rains in March were not enough to recharge groundwater in France, 75% of which remain at moderately low or very low levels.
Last year, as of April 1, 58% of levels were below normal, but the summer of 2022 suffered a historic drought.
