The storms affected fields of olive and almond trees.
The end of March and the beginning of April have been marked by various storms, which have so far damaged 2,192.99 hectares of crops in Extremadura. That is the provisional data offered by Agroseguro,
although this figure will likely increase in the coming days, as more damage reports arrive. The storms, of diverse intensity, started in the last weekend of March. In the first week of April, they intensified in some points of the region, such as Feria, Navalvillar de Pela, Castuera or Siruela. The direct consequence of the hail is that a good share of the fruit trees has been damaged. In fact, of those almost 2,200 hectares in which hail has been recorded, 1,806.49 are planted with fruit trees
, which is 82.4% of the total area affected. The most affected region is Las Vegas Altas del Guadiana.
