Pockets of south-eastern Spain, Cyprus, Greece, and areas across the south-eastern Balkans are under the highest form of \u201calert\u201d according to the European Drought Observatory (EDO)\u2019s report for 11-20 May. But a drought \u201cwarning\u201d is also in place across large swathes of northern and eastern Europe, following a record-breaking hot and dry spring, driven by climate change.<\/p>\n<p>March was Europe\u2019s warmest on record, and some countries saw their driest March, Europe\u2019s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) previously reported. In total, 1.6 per cent of the 27 EU countries (excluding Madeira, Azores, and Canary Islands) plus the UK is in alert conditions. As per the EDO\u2019s classification, this means that vegetation is showing signs of stress, as well as the soil lacking moisture &#8211; which places an area under a warning &#8211; and less than normal rainfall.<\/p>\n<p>The situation is particularly acute in some Mediterranean areas favoured by holidaymakers, such as the Greek islands of Santorini and Mykonos. Here, water is having to be shipped in from Athens or filtered by desalination plants to fill swimming pools and showers. According to the EDO\u2019s Combined Drought Indicator (CDI), 39.6 per cent of the EU-27 and the UK have a drought warning. This orange patch on the map stretches from Ireland to the northern slopes of the Alps, across to Finland, southern Russia and T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/06\/02\/spain-cyprus-greece-where-is-europe-facing-drought-after-a-record-breaking-hot-spring\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-725\/\">Spain, Cyprus, Greece: Where is Europe facing drought after a record-breaking hot spring?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[8508,1551,575,1104,1102,655],"class_list":["post-140351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-cyprus","tag-drought","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-greece","tag-spain","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140351\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
