"Extreme heat supercharged by the climate crisis is sucking Europe dry in summer and intensifying the drought hitting the continent, a scientific analysis has found. Deadly wildfires have raged through Spain and France and farmers have been hit hard, facing some of the driest soils on record. Rivers are running low across Europe, cutting the generation of clean hydropower and restricting cargo ships." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/23/climate-crisis-heat-sucking-soils-dry-extreme-drought-europe-analysis
