Almost “a year without summer.”
“In Italy this year, summer is really bad,” say reader Dr Mirco Poletto. “In the north we could almost speak of a year without summer: rainfall well above average, storms and sometimes temperature up to 10° C below seasonal average.
Domestic cultivations are suffering, especially tomatoes, hit by diseases due to the high moisture amount.
Media start calling the finishing month “julember”. August will be even worse if possible.
What will happen this winter if we keep going on with this trend? Ten degrees below normal with high precipitations? SNOW! A LOT OF SNOW!
I send you a couple of links. Obviously they blame global warming for the low temps!
You know Italy is classified as a semi-free country about press freedom.
