France

Шаблон:Expand French The Pyrénées-Orientales Department of Southern France officially declared itself at a drought "crisis" level on the 10th May.[1] A dry winter limited replenishment of water tables, depleted in the 2022 European drought. Agriculture in France has been impacted.[2]

Italy

At Lake Garda, where the water level is 70cm (27in) lower than average, the Alps have reportedly had 63% less snow than usual.[3] As a result of water shortages, rice production has been cut.[4] Canals in Venice dried up.[5]

Spain

The Fuente de Piedra Lagoon is now a salt flat due to the heat.

In Catalonia, the Sau reservoir has been at 9 per cent of its total capacity.[6] 2023 has been Catalonia's worse drought in decades.[7] The April 2023 heat wave has also exacerbated drought problems. The Fuente de Piedra Lagoon went dry for the first time in 20 years due to the heatwave.[8]

The Doñana National Park is being threatened by drought.[9]

United Kingdom

Drought warnings are in place for the summer.[10] It was the driest February since 1993.[11] Scientists said that this increased the drought risk for other regions of England.[12]

It was the wettest March in over 40 years for England and Wales.[13] According to South West Water, Devon and Cornwall are experiencing the driest conditions in nearly 90 years.[14] From 25 April 2023, South West Water will extend a hosepipe ban to parts of Devon.[15]
