Bribes aren't necessary; just good observational skills. European ‘Extreme Weather Belt’ Linked to Drought Published: September 5th, 2015 By Arthur Neslen, The Guardian A swath of central Europe has suffered the most severe drought since 2003 in what EU climate experts see as a harbinger of climate changes to come. Rainless weeks and relentless heat desiccated a vast tract of central European land separating the continent’s drier south from its wetter north between April 1 and July 31, according to a report by the European drought observatory (EDO). “This is where we expect to see more extreme weather such as floods and droughts in the future, and what we are gradually starting to see in the present,” said Frank Raes, the head of the climate change unit at the EU’s Joint Research Center which commissioned the report.
