自8月第二週以來，北義大利的橄欖樹出現果實提前掉落的現象。
這一現象主要影響弗蘭托奧品種的橄欖園，但也有報告稱格里尼亞諾橄欖品種也受到了影響。
Since the second week of August, olive trees in northern Italy have been experiencing premature fruit fall.
The phenomenon primarily affects groves of the Frantoio variety, although some instances of Grignano olives being affected have also been reported.
就像許多其他地中海國家一樣，義大利今年夏天經歷了極端高溫。
從7月15日開始，義大利連續數週受到來自撒哈拉沙漠的反氣旋影響。到8月第二週，也就是首次報告這一(提前落果)現象的時候，該國北部地區的氣溫已達到40℃，將雪線推高到5,000米。
橄欖生產商跨區協會主任恩佐·甘賓 (Enzo Gambin) 對當地媒體表示，這種極端天氣可能解釋了該地區果實提前掉落的原因。
However, Italy experienced extreme heat this summer, just like many other Mediterranean countries.
Starting July 15th, Italy was under an anticyclone that originated in the Sahara desert for several weeks. By the second week of August, when this phenomenon was first reported, temperatures across the country’s north had reached 40 ºC, pushing the snowline to 5,000 meters.
Enzo Gambin, director of the Inter-regional Association of Olive Producers, told local media that this extreme weather may explain the premature fruit fall in the region.
