Yes they are not getting enough Rain.
These things happen from time to time.
Unlucky Italy
[The Italian government declared
a state of emergency on Monday
in five regions because of a drought
caused by lack of rain and
rising temperatures.
“For the Po basin, this is the most
serious water crisis of the last 70 years,
according to analysis by the
Po River District Basin Authority,”
Prime Minister Mario Draghi said.
The Po River runs east across
the northern part of Italy
from the Pian del Re of Monte Viso
to the Adriatic Sea near Venice,
and is the longest river in Italy.]
