Winter was too wet as an abundance of rain poured down on Luxembourg in February. The tables have turned in spring - but not for the better from an agricultural viewpoint.

There hasn't been any rain for more than a month in a time of the year when nature and cultivations urgently need water to grow.

Livestock are grazing on the fields earlier due to the summerly weather. This trend is also somewhat of a curse in disguise as farmers have to start feeding their animals earlier due to the drought.

Dréchent mécht de Bauere Kappzerbrieches
No engem verreente Wanter, an deem et bis an de Februar zäitweis geschott huet ewéi aus Eemeren, ass zanter iwwer engem Mount keng Drëps Reen méi gefall.
