The contrasting conditions—cool, damp weather alongside elevated fire risk—pose particular challenges for agriculture, especially regarding early harvests. At the same time, the high fire danger classification underscores the need for strict safety precautions, as even minor weather shifts could spark wildfires.

The expected improvement in early June weather may also benefit the region’s epidemiological situation by reducing drought likelihood and creating more favorable conditions for vegetation growth.
