Lt.- Col.

An exhaustive study of the subject shows that winter in Noribern France is not so severg fromy the Standpoint of low temperatures, but there is @ consistency of moderately cold weath- er which is not usually experienced lo Canada.

Temperatures #8 high as 100 never have been re- ported in France, but they are very tare and they do ut have the 90 to 100 spells that are common here. With the transition from winter to spring the rapid warming up, familar to residents ir ada, is not so noticeable in France, the average temperature for March being only 2 to 4 degrees higher than for February. April and May are moder. dtely cool and not unpleasant, while rainfall is comparativély light, "al- The summers are pleasant as cowm- pared with much of Eastern Canada, thie day temperatures being mostly thaderate and the uights cool. Oceca- sionally hot weather is experienced, but the heat 1s not 80 excessive and the heated periods are usually of short duration. Fall also is usually pleasant, espe- cially in September and October, The rainfall usually bécomes heavier, however, Along the northern- ¢oasts of France temperatures are very sim- ilar to those of our Pacific coast, the nthly average at Dunkirk, France, and Vancouver, Leing identical for nearly Half the months of the year and differing only slightly for Jiri months, Over the lowlands of North- ern France snow Is fairly freguent and nay be expected from November to April, inclusive, although it rarely attains any considerable depth on the ground, At the higher elevations of Eastern and Southern France, par: ticularly in the mountains bordering on Germany, where the winters are long and cold, snowfall is more fre- quent and much heavier.
