“It is not normal weather, especially for these dates, but we are grateful for the weather, for our work, it is very good for the terrace, we appreciate it. On other dates, there is a lot of rain, wind, cold, and at the moment the weather is as nice as if it were summer."

But the unprecedented warming is also raising

concerns about the effects of climate change

"Maybe in the future, in November, it's also going to be hot or not. I don't know. But I'm a little bit worried about how it is going to be and more for the future generations, our kids."
