Engadin Drought Conditions

I tried looking through the news but couldn’t find anything pertaining to the Engadin regions. How are they faring this summer?

I am traveling there in October and wondering if there has been a significant impact. I have seen some videos of dried up lakes in the north and it is heartbreaking.

In the news was this video about the ‘sad’ Alpabzug (cow parade) in Graubünden - no celebration, no flowers, because they had to return to the valley earlier than usual due to the lack of grazing opportunities - too dry.

The location of these farmers is Domleschg, but, like everywhere else in the country, the problem is pretty widespread.
