Growing up, every summer was about the record-breaking heatwaves. It was every year, the same announcement. I've never had a summer without record-breaking heat. In recent years, the continuous raise in temperature has started to damage the landscape, with intense droughts in an otherwise temperate country with vibrant landscapes. Months after the heatwave passed, the landscapes still suffered , with brown hills and dying vegetation far too early to pass as Autumn change. Last year showed signs of repent with a wet summer...hopefully this will turn the tables
