Summary

Description
English: Intense drought conditions have been affecting Portugal for months, following unusually warm temperatures and lower than average precipitations. According to the national meteorological organisation of Portugal – Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA) – the extreme drought conditions in the country have increased throughout June 2022, vis-à-vis the end of May 2022. On 30 June, 96% of the Portuguese territory was experiencing either “extreme” or “severe” drought conditions. Several hydrographic basins in Portugal are currently showing clear signs of the consequences of the ongoing drought. One example is the Aldo Lindoso reservoir, shown in this image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 6 July, which is currently at only 15.8% of its capacity.
