Climate Change Puts Traditional Galician Weather Wisdom to the Test

Climate Change Challenges Traditional Galician Weather Sayings Galicia, Spain – Traditional weather sayings, passed down through generations, are facing a challenge in the face of climate change. A recent video by G24 noticias explores this, highlighting how the changing weather patterns are making some old adages less reliable. Juan Taboada from MeteoGalicia, a meteorological agency in Galicia, notes that the abundance of snowfall, once a reliable indicator of a prosperous year, is no longer as frequent. "The saying 'a year of snow, a year of plenty' is losing its meaning because of reduced snowfall," Taboada explains. José Ángel Docobo, an emeritus professor of astronomy, adds another layer to the discussion. He points out how people's perception of seasonal changes is also affected, making traditional predictions less accurate. The video, however, doesn't dismiss the sayings entirely. Some still hold true, demonstrating the enduring connection between nature and human observation. The video concludes on a positive note, highlighting the resilience of Galician culture and its adaptation to a changing world.
