> Regional draught conditions over multiple years is a common thing

Winters have become increasingly milder across the mediterranean for the past 20 years, ask anyone, it is very noticeable.

September use to be the end of Holiday season now you have locals going to the beach in late October with +25 Celsius.

This means that reservoirs and river aquifers are not getting filled up during winter generating progressively more agressive draughts.

It's not the end of the world, people will find a way, but luxuries like golf courses and year round strawberries will likely need to be curbed.
