Climate change made Ireland's record July drought eight times likelier
Original: Ireland's record July drought made 8 times more likely by climate-fueled evaporation, study finds
A new study finds that climate change-driven evaporation made Ireland's record July drought eight times more likely than it would have been in a pre-industrial climate. The finding highlights how warming conditions intensify drought risk even in typically wet countries like Ireland, adding to growing scientific evidence that human-caused climate change is reshaping weather extremes across Europe.
Why now: The attribution study linking Ireland's record drought to climate change is new and relevant amid ongoing European heat and drought concerns
