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, through increased evaporation, made Ireland's record July drought eight times more likely than it would have been in a cooler climate. The finding highlights how warming conditions are intensifying drought risk even in countries traditionally associated with wet weather, drawing attention to water management challenges across Ireland and northwestern Europe.
Why now: The attribution study linking Ireland's unusual drought to climate change is newly published and surprising given Ireland's normally wet climate
