Algerian farmers face new heat rules
Algeria is experiencing a severe heatwave affecting the agricultural sector and society in general, with temperatures exceeding 40°C. Meteorological forecasts indicate that temperatures could reach up to 49°C in desert areas and 45°C in some coastal regions. Farmers are intensifying irrigation efforts and adjusting farming practices to cope with water shortages and rising temperatures, such as relying on smart irrigation systems and cultivating short-season crops that require less water. Recent events have also shown that heatwaves cause power outages and widespread fires, with the highest electricity consumption recorded and fires spreading, leading to losses in crops and livestock.
