The cause of unseasonable rains and one stormy night in Paris has been put down to a 200m butterfly effect.
'You can't ignore the symmetry,' said Mélissa Dujardin, a leading Meteo forecaster and lepitdopterist. 'As beautiful a spectacle as it might be to see these oversized majestic creatures, immense vortexes within vortexes have created the conditions for the unexpected displacement of moisture.
'All of that flapping about in Olympic swimming pools is to blame. I mean, just look at the abdomens on them. Imagine how long their tongues are, and the size of their hairy caterpillars.
'It's complete chaos, and Paris has never been wetter.'

British tourists have been marvelling at the speed and efficiency of French trains, despite the fact that many of the high speed TGVs are not even running thanks to arson attacks and the system is also coping with an Olympics and start of holiday season.
Francesca Fraser said 'Look at these lovely trains. They're much faster than the ones at home. Punctual service. And there's never been leaves on the line the whole time we've been here. Reasonable prices too... I'm starting to wonder if the privatisation of the British train network might not have been an unqualified success.'
Locals, who are used to a good train service, were less happy. One mime, angry that his train was late and failing to travel at 200mph, did unspeakable things to a baguette.
