MODERATORS
I live in Denmark. We got a drought warning from our water supply company about three weeks ago I think it was. Since then there has been rain in varying amounts pretty much every single day.
Though a serious drought is not reversed by a few rainy days. It takes months of rain to get the water levels back up.
2018 was a serious drought, this was not, as is pretty much stated in the article as well. Also, I think your definition of "a few" is very different than mine.
That being said, I am in no way a climate change denier. I'm fully aware that the planet is going to shit. I just thought the timing was pretty funny.
Can confirm, same experience. Not denying there is an issue, just saying that it's been raining recently.
