Climate change in Uruguay ?

Today is the 1.February. Normally a day in the middle of summer.
But this year the summer was a bit wet, lots of rain. Do we have a
climate change in Uruguay now? Walking through my garden this morning
shows strong signs of autumn, and this on the 1st of February. Look above,
my oak tree has fully grown acorns and the leaves turn brown .

My figs stopped ripening and the fig tree leaves already turn brown
and fall off. See in the background of this photo, other trees are
loosing their leaves too and all looks like autumn. Bad luck, just a
few figs this year. Two month to early, a climate change in Uruguay?

Therefore are the lemons in full growth. They start to turn yellow already.
Normally we have new, ripe lemons from May/June onwards. Two month to early.

And the worthiest change this year are my Tannat vines. They are harvested
already, just 15 kilos of grapes this year, instead over 50 kilos last year.
All the leaves turn brown and they fall off. Autumn on the 1st of February.
Was it to much rain this year or do we have a climate change in Uruguay ???

    Jammer dat jullie dit jaar zo’n natte zomer hebben. En ja, die herfst verschijnselen, dat klopt ook niet. Ik hoop dat de natuur zich weer herstelt.

    Ah, but so much more enjoyable than last summer, with insufferable heat and flooding! I will check on our fig tree next time I’m in the country. I tend to pay little attention since the birds eat them all before we have a chance.
