Autumn is just a week away and apart from the odd shower expected in the next few days, the outlook is currently ‘dry’, which is becoming worrying for farmers in Andalucia.
The prolonged dry weather has already had an effect on olive and cereal harvests. The reservoirs in Andalucia are at around 55% capacity overall, low but above the national average of 47%. Last year the figure was 78% after two years of heavy rains.
