In the first half of the summer of 2023, climate change brought an unprecedented level of weather extremes to Europe as well.
Heat waves with terrible fires in southern Europe.
In Northitaly, Carinthia and Slovenia catastrophic floods.
Autumnal weather in Central Europe with lots of rain up to masses of hailstones.
Now it should at least calm down a bit in Central Europe and the "normale" summer will come back again.
We hope for a nice second half for this sailing season, which in European Circuit still has a few regattas in store.
