"In rural areas, violent thunderstorms are beneficial for lavender farmers, helping the ongoing harvest. The rain moistens the soil and nourishes the flowering plants, promoting the production of lavender oil. Thunderstorms allow the plants to continue blooming and maintain a high-quality harvest. In the event of a drought, the plants go into a state of dormancy, reducing oil production. The recent thunderstorms have been beneficial after a period of drought, helping the lavender grow more vigorously for a better harvest this year."
