From Romania to Kazakhstan, summer droughts linked to less winter ice in two rapidly warming seas
Summary
This summer, with its scarce rainfall and repeated heat waves, witnessed one of the most severe droughts in Europe since 1540. The resulting wildfires across western Europe received considerable media attention, but eastern Europe was also heavily hit, worsening the humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine. Simulations have shown that such droughts are bound to become more frequent and severe in the future due to man-made global warming.
