Italy's worst drought in decades hits the country's largest lake, exposing expanses of previously underwater rocks and warming the water to temperatures that approach the average found in the Caribbean Sea.

To compensate, authorities have allowed more water from Lake Garda to flow out to local rivers at 70 cubic metres of water per second.
