Drought conditions are affecting large parts of central and northern Europe as well as northern Africa, the
eastern Mediterranean, and the Middle East.Recent above-average temperatures in western Europe have exacerbated the effects of the prolonged lack of precipitation, particularly on soil moisture. Low flow conditions in river discharge are detected mostly in eastern Europe, in the Baltic Sea region, and in some rivers of Türkiye.Impacts on vegetation are emerging in eastern Europe. The already affected areas are mostly in the Mediterranean region. Seasonal forecasts point to a warmer than usual 2025 summer with dry conditions in a very large region
extending from the UK to the Black Sea.
