Calm down. The olive groves are fine!

As reported by Rádio Brigantia: "Heat has burned olive blossoms in some parts of the region, but there is still no cause for alarm" (link to the article).

Abrupt temperature variations cause some damage to olive trees, particularly during the flowering season.

It is worth noting how heterogeneous the region is, particularly in its orography and in the different varieties of olive trees, as the plants are at different stages during this phase, just as they are during harvest time.

As stated in the aforementioned article: "In the intermediate areas of the region, where the olive trees were in full bloom, especially in Terra Quente Transmontana, the heat destroyed some of the flowers. In the warmer areas, where flowering had already occurred, there were no problems, and in the colder areas flowering had not yet occurred, so there is no damage to report."

However, these climatic instabilities are increasingly causing concern and concern.
