After weeks of persistent rain, a mayor in Normandy has had enough. Now, he has ordered the sun to come out, reports AFP.

I have never experienced such weather in July, thundered Daniel Marrière, mayor of the small community of Coulonces, and continued:

Yesterday morning, it poured down, the sky was grey and you could hardly see what you were doing. You needed to turn on lamps indoors.

Now, he has introduced a local ordinance that prohibits rain from falling during August, September, and October.

According to the French weather service Météo France, it rained twice as much in some areas in June compared to what it usually does.

Marrière is urging the local priests to "communicate with heaven" so that the rain ban can be enforced.

The rain should cease and be replaced with shining sun and a light breeze, he said.
