Abstract
The dataset is the supplementary material for the following journal paper:
Pontrandolfi A, Alilla R, De Natale F, Nuti R, Parisse B, Pepe AG, Dataset on Weather-related Disasters in Agriculture (WDA) in Italy 2005–2021, Data in Brief
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2025.111323
The database on Weather-related disasters in agriculture (WDA) is a part of the cloud storage which hosts the materials of the Observatory for agricultural meteorology and climatology of the Research Center for Agriculture and Environment belonging to the Council for Agricultural Research and Economics (CREA). The Observatory website has a specific section devoted to weather-related risk in agriculture.
A specific relational SQL database has been created fo data entry information from the official decrees of WDA declaration in Italy.
From this relational SQL database, a dataset of WDA has been extracted for the period from 2005 to 2021 and here published
The WDA dataset aims to make available useful data for weather-related risk assessment and analysis in the Italian agricultural sector.
