The heatwaves of June and July now appear to be just a distant memory - particularly in one part of eastern France, where the mercury edged towards winter temperatures this week.
A Météo France weather station in Mouthe, near the Swiss border in the Jura mountains, registered a temperature of just 1C on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, in nearby Chapelle-des-Bois, temperatures dropped as low as -0.4C, according to the village's Twitter account - which added a spot of useful winter advice.
According to meteorologist François Jobard, sub-zero temperatures are not uncommon in the region in August.
