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.

How the oldest science in the world flourished in Toledo 1,000 years ago.

An international conference on the origins of galaxies pays tribute to the pioneering scientific cooperation between Muslims, Jews, and Christians that took place in Spain at the end of the Middle Ages.

2024 European State of the Climate (ESOTC) report

Key messages:
a)
#Europe experienced its warmest year, with the second highest number of heat stress days and tropical nights, on record.

b)
The area of Europe experiencing days with temperatures below freezing is decreasing, with the year seeing the largest area on record with fewer than three months (90 days) of frost days. The number of ‘cold stress days’ was the lowest on record.

c)
For the European region and for the Mediterranean Sea, the annual sea surface temperature was the highest on record. It was also the warmest year on record for European lakes.

d)
#Glaciers in #Scandinavia and #Svalbard saw their highest recorded annual rates of mass loss. They also saw the largest mass loss of any #glacier region globally.

e)
Western Europe saw one of the ten wettest years on record and Europe experienced the most widespread #flooding since 2013.

f)
The year saw a record proportion of electricity generation by renewables, at 45%

EU-Parlamentarier sehen eher Rückschritte beim Klimaschutz

2024 war das wärmste Jahr seit Beginn der Wetteraufzeichnungen in Europa. Angesichts des Klimareports des Erdbeobachtungsprogramms Copernicus kritisieren EU-Parlamentarier die Politik der Brüsseler Kommission. Von Thomas Spickhofen

"This data visualisation, based on C3S data, shows the total precipitation anomaly in Europe for the month. It highlights that most of southwestern Europe was affected by above average levels of precipitation, particularly over the Iberian Peninsula. This region was hit by a series of severe weather events which led to widespread flooding. On the other hand, in the UK, Ireland, and a section of central Europe expanding southward to the Black Sea, Greece, and Türkiye, the month was drier than average."
