The European Drought Observatory (EDO), overseen by the European Commission, said Europe is facing its worst drought in at least 500 years. The agency said 47 percent of Europe is under warning conditions, with a clear deficit of soil moisture, and 17 percent in a state of alert, in which vegetation is affected. The two figures are up 3 and 8 percentage points respectively from July.
