A lack of #rainfall since spring has affected even #plants that traditionally thrive in #hot and dry conditions.

...

The effects of #climate #change not only impact production and plants but are even changing the #geography and rhythms of the Italian #farming landscape. A few years ago, olive groves were mainly the preserve of historically hot and arid areas such as #Sicily. Now regions such as Val d'Aosta in the far north of Italy, famous for its ski resorts and mountains, can produce their own oil.

Rhine River water levels plumb new depths, but rain forecast | News | DW | 15.08.2022

At one notorious shallow point at Kaub, between Mainz and Koblenz, the water level had dipped to 32 centimeters (12.5 inches) by late morning; 5 centimeters lower than the same time the previous day.
