EUROPE’S DRY SPRING
PERFECT FOR INVASION GOOD WEATHER LIKELY LONDON, May 8. The finest spring for 50 years had dried and hardened Western Europe for the Allied invasion armies, says the Daily Express’ foreign editor, according to correspondents’ reports from Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and Portugal —• “Outposts in and around the Axis fortress, where the weather censorship is rigid.” Basing his forecast on these reports, the Daily Express’ foreign editor predicts for the next three weeks continued fair weather along the invasion coast from the Low Countries to Spain. There is a one in four chance of the drought continuing through June. July may be hot, but on the whole it is expected that the summer will be wet and cool, with the skies generally overcast and in the English Channel fair to moderate.
