Over half of Europe and Mediterranean basin hit by drought in mid-May

The European #CentralBank warned on May 23 of major #economic risks from drought, which can threaten up to 15% of production in the #eurozone due to increasing #ExtremeWeather caused by climate change

More than half, or 53%, of land in #Europe and the #Mediterranean basin were hit by #drought in mid-May, according to an #AFP analysis of data from the European Drought Observatory (#EDO) from May 11-20, 2025.

It was the highest level recorded for that period of time in the year since monitoring began in 2012, and more than 20 points higher than the average between 2012-2024.

The EU's #Copernicus #ClimateChange Service, based on #satellite imagery, takes into account three benchmarks: #precipitation, or #rainfall, soil #moisture and the state of #vegetation.
