Large parts of Europe have had long dry spells for quite a number of months already. A stable area of high pressure is keeping temperatures high and there is little or no precipitation. In many countries, crops require irrigation and the chance of fires increases day by day.

Cattle farmers and horse farmers are also struggling in this drought. Grass grows much more slowly and the animals are escaping from their paddocks.

We also give some tips on how best to maintain your fencing during extreme dry periods to ensure you continue to have maximum benefit.
