The 2018-2020 Multi-Year Drought Sets a New Benchmark in Europe
The spatio-temporal analysis of the largest European soil moisture droughts since 1766, summarized in Figure 1a, reveals three outstanding and well-comparable soil moisture drought events in terms of areal coverage, duration from the onset, and drought intensity: 1857-1860, 1920-1922, and 2018-2020. The 2018-2020 event exhibits the ...
Prolonged drought and record temperatures have critical impact in the
In the midst of winter, the ongoing drought is already having critical impacts, according to the report compiled by the JRC-run European Drought Observatory (EDO). It also points to seasonal forecast predicting a warmer spring in southern Italy, Greece, the Mediterranean islands, and northern Africa.
Will drought events become more frequent and severe in Europe?
This work builds on a previous study, in which we investigated drought trends in Europe over the last six decades on an annual scale (Spinoni et al., 2015a). This study aims at exploring projections of drought trends until the end of the 21st century and providing a more complete picture of drought tendencies over Europe from 1951 to 2100.

Variable drought conditions keep affecting large parts of Europe
Europe keeps facing challenging drought conditions that continue impacting agriculture, energy and water resources. In mid-June 2023, the indicator used to monitor drought conditions mirrored 2022's severe drought in Europe. The same one that had widespread impacts on water resources, agriculture, and energy. Southern Europe has been suffering ...

Drought impact on ecosystems in Europe, 2000-2022
Monitoring meteorological drought impacts supports policy measures that target, among others, greenhouse gas removals and the adaptation of ecosystems to climate change. In 2022, Europe experienced its hottest summer and second warmest year on record, and consequently the largest overall drought impacted area: over 630,000km2 as opposed to the 167,000km2 annual average impacted area between ...

The conditions in late spring 2023 were worse than those of 2022, when a severe-to-extreme drought developed over Europe affecting water resources, agriculture and energy production. In addition, the JRC's indicators point to widespread low river flows caused by the lack of rainfall. Spain is experiencing water shortages, particularly in ...
Understanding hydrological winter drought in Europe

Amplified seasonality in western Europe in a warmer world
One region under extreme threat in a global warming scenario is the Arctic region, which is anticipated to warm up two to four times faster than the global average, a phenomenon called Arctic amplification ().Model experiments using future CO 2 forcing scenarios imply that Arctic amplification caused by global warming of mPWP magnitude might affect the storm track-affected regions of Europe ...
What is drought? Causes, impact & countries most affected
Around the world, droughts are becoming increasingly common due to rising global temperatures — and have serious impacts, leading to crop failures, famine and malnutrition.. East Africa, for example, is facing its worst drought in years, affecting 40 million people.Many are facing near-famine and malnutrition because of the drought's impact on food supplies.
