Hungary: Scorching heat, drought hit Hungary, causing heavy crop losses
Storyline: Extreme heat and worsening drought conditions have swept across Hungary, causing water levels in its major rivers to sharply decline, with crops suffering severe damage and losses. According to official data, the water volume of the Tisza River, one of Hungary’s main rivers, has decreased by 60 percent, while the Danube River’s water level has dropped by 40 percent. HungaroMet's June 2025 agrometeorological report highlights extreme drought across large areas of Hungary. In central and southeastern regions of the country, rainfall since March has been 40-100 mm below average. Topsoil moisture is below 20 percent in most areas, with corn and sunflower leaves curling, and even early-harvested barley is suffering. The Hungarian government has established task forces to distribute resources where needed, committing 10 billion Hungarian forints (about 30 million U.S. dollars) to supply free irrigation water to farmers. Currently, heatwaves have hit large parts of Europe, with temperatures reaching record highs in many cities. Shotlist: Hungary - Recent: 1. Various of river, bridge piers 2. Various of farmland, dry ground 3. Strong sunlight 4. SOUNDBITE (Hungarian) Katalin Allacherné Szépkuthy, Head of advisory team at Hungarian Research Institute of Organic Agriculture: "There are two key issues at play here. First, this summer in Hungary has been significantly hotter than previous years. Temperatures used to hover around 30-32 degrees Celsius, but now they commonly reach 35-38 degrees Celsius, sometimes even 40 degrees Celsius. All of this is due to the lack of rainfall. With no rainfall, the soil and plants sucked all available water from the ground and evaporated it to cool themselves, leading to an extremely critical situation." 5. Various of farmland, dry ground 6. SOUNDBITE (Hungarian) Danny Maria, farmer: "The drought is so severe that I couldn't harvest any grain at all. The issue isn't just the lack of rain -- it's also the extremely high temperatures. The combination of these two factors has had a devastating impact on crops." 7. Various of scorched leaves, farmland, dry ground. [Restrictions : No access Chinese mainland]
