extreme weather

In November last year, the river Tanaro flooded the little town of Garessio and surroundings after extreme rain. Even down in Priola the our road to the main road was cut off.

Ever since then, it has not rained much here, and our neighbours are telling me it has not rained at all since May. At all needs to be taken with a grain of salt, as we had rain three times since we arrived end of June, but that rain never penetrated the ground more than 3 cm. And now with the heatwave from 'Lucifer', the trees really suffer.

The whole of Italy is going through a water crisis, some of it homemade by bad management of the infrastructure, and the rest created by extreme weather linked to climate change.

and this is what the river looks like today. Almost empty.
