Austria's severe drought persists
Austria is experiencing the worst drought wave in over 140 years, with rainfall decreasing by 27% during the first six months of 2026. This unprecedented drought has led to a water level drop of about half a meter in the Danube River, impacting electricity production by up to 30% and river navigation, especially in the states of Lower Austria, Upper Austria, and Salzburg, where water levels have fallen below the minimum required. To compensate for the rainfall deficit, approximately 160 liters of additional rain per square meter are needed in the coming weeks to restore stability.
