could you translate a sentence for me?
Hello 
The sentence sounds like this: "For many years I used to think that the national interest in weather was as much a British obsession as the state of their lives was a French one, but I've realised it's not really like that."
what means "state of their lives" and what meaning "lives" has here? brown-colored part of sentence isn't clear for me. Could you help me?

the state of their lives = the condition / quality of their lives / life style / way of life / current situation in life. I'm afraid I am not familiar enough with this French obsession to be more definite.
