Europe's main rivers face drought impact
Satellite images from summer 2026 show a significant deterioration in water levels in major European rivers such as the Loire, Rhine, and Po. This is due to severe drought and rising temperatures. The drop in water levels has led to the widening of sandy areas and visible islands in the rivers, as well as damage to vegetation cover and agricultural fields. Some rivers have reached record-low levels. The drought has also halted river navigation and threatened sectors like water, energy, and agriculture. Wreckage from sunken ships appeared in the Danube in Serbia as water levels dropped. These conditions have coincided with widespread environmental and economic repercussions, including a decline in greenery in major cities like London and Vienna. The dry, hot conditions are expected to persist until September 2026.
