This is a CBSI on the world. I'm John Bachelor. To the south of France, Simon Constable

writing for the Wall Street Journal, Parents and other distinguished publications, looking

at commodities, but we stop first for the climate in the south of France.

Simon a good day to you.

It is sunny and cooler in New England.

The Daffodils, the Forsythias, the tulips, all bloom and a normal rain pattern,

rain one day, sunny the next, clouds in and out.

The Midwest is having terrific touchdown tornadoes, the kind of

tornado from Wizard of Oz. So I come to your climate, which should be perfect.

Good day to you, son.

Good day to you, John.

Well, nothing is ever as perfect as you would want it to be,

but it is near perfect.

It's very similar to what you're experiencing here.

The range in temperatures today

were between 43 Fahrenheit and that it's going out to 56 which is not not a bad

range and occasional sprinkles outside but really just sprinkles and having grown up in the UK

sprinkles rather than constant mist or constant drizzle is really good and really lovely.

It will be going to bigger ranges later in the week though.

On Friday we will have a range from 32 which is freezing point up to 63

and there will be sun that day which makes a lot of sense and then some sun over the weekend as well.

So looking forward to that with no rain.
