If the weather becomes more erratic as predicted then it means that there will be stronger storms, heavier downpours, an increase in temperature (with as much as 5C in some areas) and more intense heatwaves. While all of these conditions will cause potential damage to plants and may even erode soil, the weather condition of utmost concern is the rain as there are some areas that will be at risk of flooding due to an excessive amount and other areas in threat of drought due to a decreased amount of precipitation.
