Paris or Papeete ?


Help the sun is shining and we are pleased to discover that the temperature is on the plus scale !!!!!!!!! – What happened ?

OK, Paris is the capital of France, but the weather is usually boring “gray & dull” but now the sun shines in Paris, even if it's only for a few hours...
PARIS + SUN (+2 °C) = Almost SPRING FEVER !!!

Everyone who lives here knows that the normal weather forecasts for Paris are usually:
  • Light, mixture of precipitation. Mostly cloudy and Cool.
  • Scattered flurries. Passing clouds and Chilly.
  • Rain changing to an icy mix. Afternoon clouds. Cool.
  • Snow changing to rain. Afternoon clouds. Cool.
  • Rain changing to snow. Afternoon clouds. Cool.
But we actually had "winter" and 2 cm of snow for almost three days, only a few days ago. It was exciting, exotic and cheered all at our office. Everyone started to throw snowballs at each other. The snow even made the old rigid bureaucrats playing like children.
– Why can’t we get sun and snow at the same time ? – Please, please, please..... please

Many of us have talked and dreamed about the weather in Polynésie française. – But is it so much better than Paris ?

Papeete is capital of the island Tahiti (French Polynesia) and today reporting:
  • 28 °C Partly cloudy. Warm. Thunderstorms. Partly sunny. Mild.
  • 31 °C Mostly cloudy. Mild.
  • 28 °C Tons of rain. Mostly cloudy. Warm.
  • 29 °C Strong thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy. Warm

– What do you think a French bureaucrat could do in the rain and heat ?

Cry or
Smile ???
