This is the best summary I could come up with:
As Europe continues to experience recording breaking heatwaves, southern France has been hit by severe drought.
Other countries experiencing unusually high temperatures include Greece, Sicily, Italy and Spain, while July clocked in as the hottest month ever recorded on Earth.
However, projections made earlier this year suggest that France’s 2023 drought issues could end up being worse than 2022 following an exceptionally dry winter.
Many countries across Europe have been experiencing rising temperatures, with Italy, Sicily, Turkey and Greece particularly hard hit.
As a result, wildfires have sprung up in numerous locations in recent months, with especially bad outbreaks in Corfu, Spain and Portugal.
In central Europe Slovenia, Austria, Georgia and Hungary have been hit with flash floods which have destroyed buildings and bridges and swept away vehicles.
