Wild fire |
Hungary |
As forecasted, a significantly warmer air mass than normal is moving from the Mediterranean into the Balkan peninsula, with nearly 10 °C above average temperatures. Italy, Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece are the worst affected by the extreme and dry heatwave.
Experts say that heatwaves hitting Europe are more frequent and more severe than climate models have predicted.
Drought and wildfires are considered to be the consequences of significant heatwaves. Rising temperatures, longer period of droughts, lower precipitation and strong wind create a favourable condition for wildfires in the Mediterranean region. In addition to the favourable fire climate conditions, warming temperatures prompted by anthropogenic climate change also increase the likelihood of longer and more frequent fire seasons.

Drought |
Iran, Islamic Republic |
Drought conditions have affected a large region of Central and Western Asia, including the majority of Iran, with varying degrees of severity depending on the area and local magnitude of the event. In general, safe and sufficient water supply, agriculture and electrical power are at stake, while food security and households' income are also at risk in the most vulnerable areas. Long-term records show that the entire area receives no meaningful precipitation between June and October, with very little variation around this figure. As a result, the accumulated deficit up to May 2021 will persist until the end of the year, potentially worsening and spreading drought impacts throughout the region in the coming months. |

Drought |
Kazakhstan |
In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the heatwave that began in June 2021 in the Southern and Western regions of the country (Kyzylorda, Mangystau and Turkestan regions) led to record temperatures up to 46.5℃ (recorded on July 7) in the region with a norm of 28.3℃. This has seriously affected the main livestock farms. According to the local meteorological service "Kazhydromet", the removal of hot and dry air masses from the region of Iran preserves abnormally hot weather on the territory of most of the Republic of Kazakhstan. As a result of the abnormally high air temperature in various regions of the country, rapid runoff of rivers and reservoirs occurs. Also, the soil dries up to a depth of 50 cm, which caused the lack of vegetation and natural feed on pastures. Based on the impossibility of grazing livestock, the minimum reserves of feed and drink are exhausted, which leads to mass death. To date, the death of more than 2000 units of livestock has been recorded (in these regions) and this figure is increasing every day. In addition to the mass death of livestock, crops and agricultural crops are also being actively destroyed, which can potentially lead to a major food crisis in several regions of the country, where cattle are a key object of vital activity due to the geographical and climatic features of the southern and western regions of Kazakhstan. The death of livestock and agricultural crops in the three regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Mangistau, Kyzylorda and Turkestan regions) causes serious damage to the local population, since it is the only source of income and vital activity. |
