France has set a historical record for the duration of rains.

France has set a historical record for the longest rainfall, with precipitation recorded for the 36th day in a row. This was reported on February 18 by the BFMTV channel.

"Today is the 36th consecutive day when it rains in at least one region of France. The beginning of February turned out to be especially wet: the first 16 days of the month were the rainiest since 1959 with a cumulative precipitation of more than 110 mm," the report says.

According to the newspaper, four departments in the west of the country remain in the red zone due to the risk of flooding, and nine more remain in the orange zone. As a result of the river flooding, thousands of houses were flooded, electricity and drinking water supply were disrupted.

In the Dordogne, more than 9,000 households remain without water. The water level in the Men River has reached almost six meters, the highest since 1995. The highest flood level has been recorded in Charente since 1982.

It is added that rain is expected to increase in the coming days due to Cyclone Pedro, which may worsen the situation in already saturated regions.
