Extreme cold following the warmth in March is an 'agricultural disaster' for parts of Europe. Many sensitive crops blossomed early and subject to harsh frost. The timing of this strong cold is horrific, this happened last year too.

The agroclimatic situation forecast for the coming night is dramatic with a loss of >50% over half of the territory (accumulating to the losses of the previous days). A priori, it would again be a national agricultural disaster just like in 1991 and 2021.
