Winter Sunflower Sowing: Increasing Profitability and Adapting to Climate Change
Due to climate change, significant warming is expected in Southern Europe, with significant increases in average summer temperatures (up by 6°C compared to temperatures at the end of the century) and substantial decreases in spring and summer rainfall. Heat waves, periods of drought, torrential rains, and thunderstorms (extreme events) will occur more frequently (IPCC 2014).
