Soil moisture in southern Ukraine is close to zero (2.7%) [top right time series] and no precipitation is expected in the next 10 days [background map]

The agreement between the modelled soil moisture from GLOFAS (global-flood.emergency.copernicus.eu/glofas-forec...) and the new Copernicus EUMETSAT Soil Moisture product (land.copernicus.eu/en/products/...) is super good!

Congrats to the developers!!!

Soil moisture anomalies are at their lowest value since 2007: -89%.
Since January 2024, the soil moisture anomalies have consistently been lower than the mean (below 0), with a tremendous impact on crop production in the area, and for EU.

Here the anomaly soil moisture map for yesterday...still very dry conditions in southern Ukraine #drought

I was asked to provide an update on the drought conditions in Ukraine. Here it is from yesterday, along with two time series plots showing soil moisture anomalies and soil moisture in the investigated region.

I suspect someone may have already done this... I took the current NASA Earth fleet chart of operating and planned Earth observing missions and crossed out those recommended for cancellation in the President's budget request. It's disturbing.

UK weather: Spring may become driest on record with no rain in sight There has been a lack of rainfall in many parts of the UK so far this spring and there is little or no rain in the immediate forecast.

This Spring (March-April-May) may end up being the driest on record for the UK.

This would also make it the driest of any season in a dataset that goes back to 1836.

Spring in 1852 currently holds the record for driest season at 100.7 mm averaged across the UK.

Van kletsnat naar kurkdroog

In 2024 viel er nog een recordhoeveelheid neerslag van 1170,7 mm. In maart en april 2025 regende het op veel plaatsen in Vlaanderen maar enkele mm.

De cijfers maken opnieuw pijnlijk duidelijk voor welke uitdagingen ons waterbeheer staat.
