The 30. april 2018 it rained all day long all over Denmark.
The next 3 month the sun shined from a sky with no clouds and the temperature raised to more than 25 degree celcius in more than 70 days.
For danes and tourists it was 3 spring- and summer months with outdoor picnic, play and fun at beaches, parks, in fortress and swimming in Copenhagen Inner Harbour.
But for danish farmers – ecological and ordinary it was a economical disaster. The 3 months drought cost the 10.000 danish agricultural farmers 1 billion US Dollars in lost income.
I enjoyed this spring and summer 2018 at beaches and forest in North Sealand at Kattegat Sea and in Copenhagen.
