After a decade of very warm and dry years, 2019 was also a particularly dry year. As a result, the river discharges across Europe fell below average for almost two thirds of the year (i.e. during spring, and throughout July-October). The most extreme low river discharges were observed in central Europe. However, in November and December a rapid turnaround to high river discharges appeared in western Europe, causing a high number of flood events (ECMWF, 2019b).
