So I'm from northern Italy and I remember travelling to southern years for the first time over 20 years ago and noticing how dry and yellow everything looked in the summer, which was unusual for someone used to green vegetation even at the peak of August.

Guess what it looks like this year here in the North? "Summer's always been hot, you were just younger" my ass.
