      The article is one year old when the summer was so dry and we had quite the opposite this summer.

      After all this rain? LOL, don’t believe it for a second. More scaremongering.

      Reading this post literally in front of the Rhône flowing at currently 359 m^3 /s (359’000 l/s). We’re good.

      [You can see the yearly changes of precipitations on MeteoSwiss’s annual maps](https://www.meteoswiss.admin.ch/services-and-publications/applications/ext/climate-maps-yearly.html)

      One of the big trouble is that the years with more rain are not exactly compensating the years where there’s not enough. For reference 2022 had significant part of the country seeing less than 70% precipitations compared to the average between 1991 and 2020.

      Then you have additional issues as extreme rain events like we had in May-June do not provide the same benefits to our aquifers, but will bring these measurements up.
