Unprecedented 17th Century Rain Triggers Severe Agricultural Crisis in Iberia.
The study looked at how heavy rains in 1768-1769 caused a severe food crisis in Galicia and Northern Portugal. By analyzing historical weather data, researchers found that there was a lot more rain than usual during that time, leading to many rainy days and cold weather. This excess rain was linked to specific weather patterns in the northeast Atlantic that caused more rain and prevented sunny days.
