Drought Threatens Europe, Experts Warn of Severe Heat Waves, Decrease in Grain Production

Last summer, Europe suffered from a severe drought that threatened water, crops, and many industries as well, and this wave continues to threaten it, as the European winter this year witnessed significantly less rain than usual, and therefore European governments have fears of a more severe wave next summer.

The European Union Crop Monitoring Service said that the lack of rain in parts of southern Europe is a source of concern for grain crops heading into the spring season, noting that Europe suffered from a severe drought last summer, and the dry weather in January raised concerns in countries such as Italy that supplies The waters may not recover this year.

Italy issued a new warning of a severe drought after the end of winter after the Alps saw less than half of the usual snowfall.

In France, the lack of precipitation prompts the French government to implement a set of measures to reduce water consumption, after France suffered one of the worst droughts in its history last summer.
