In southern Europe and in most parts of central Europe droughts have become more frequent, with up to 1.3 additional droughts per decade, for the period 1950-2015 (Map 3.6). Furthermore, droughts have intensified roughly over the same areas, as the minimum discharges during the driest month of the year have decreased by between 5 and 20 %. In contrast, droughts have become less frequent and less intense in areas of Scandinavia and north-eastern Europe (EEA, 2019g).
