The record-breaking heat has led to severe droughts in parts of Europe, including France, Hungary, and the UK, with water levels in major rivers like the Rhine and Danube reaching critically low levels. Heatwaves have persisted in Western Europe since May, exacerbating the situation. El Niño has also contributed to extreme weather events, including heavy rainfall, flooding, and intensified wildfires in regions like Indonesia. These conditions pose significant risks to agriculture, water resources, and public health globally, emphasizing the urgent need for climate action.
