Projected Hydrological Drought Trends Across Europe Under Climate Change
• A new study projects varying drought conditions across Europe based on different climate change scenarios.
• High-emission scenarios suggest wetter winters for northern Europe but drier conditions for southern and central regions.
• Spring droughts are expected to worsen across central and eastern Europe, impacting agriculture and water resources.
Climate change impacts on European drought conditions
A recent study in *Nature* examines projected hydrological droughts in Europe under climate change scenarios SSP1-2.6 (low-emission) and SSP5-8.5 (high-emission). It highlights seasonal variations in drought intensity and surface runoff.
