Europe Faces Severe Heat and Drought

Few regions globally have faced more unusual heat and drought than Europe. A record-breaking late-spring heat dome signaled the start. Following this, consecutive heat domes worsened the situation.

The extreme weather turned lush landscapes into dry, dusty terrains. Such conditions have led to unprecedented low water levels in Europe’s key rivers, as reported by the European Space Programme. Major rivers like the Seine, Rhine, and Danube have been significantly impacted.
