European Drought Observatory (screenshot)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The European Drought Observatory<\/a> maps drought the way meteorologists map extreme weather: it maps<\/a> watches, warnings and alerts based on a lack of rainfall, a lack of soil moisture, and stress to vegetation following a lack of moisture, respectively. In addition to the online map viewer<\/a>, there is a comparison tool<\/a> and a way to generate your own maps<\/a> from the data, among other tools<\/a>. As of early August, the Observatory says, 47 percent of EU territory is facing warning conditions, 17 percent in alert conditions. It\u2019s been a bad summer.
