The Town Where Onions Predict the Weather

Urbania, a real town located in central Italy, may sound like a city straight out of a fairy tale, but it exists and has a unique tradition that captivates its residents every year. Instead of relying on conventional weather forecasting methods, the locals eagerly await a forecast based on a rather unusual tool: onion wedges. This centuries-old tradition has been passed down through generations and continues to thrive, making Urbania an intriguing place where vegetable-based weather predictions are upheld as a beloved family tradition.
