    EU's Water Resilience Strategy to Combat Growing Water Scarcity

    The EU is tackling its growing water scarcity issue, with 38% of Europe's land in drought due to record heat, overuse, mismanagement, and pollution. The EU's Water Resilience Strategy, launched in June 2025, aims to protect water cycles, promote resource-efficient economies, and ensure clean water access. Key measures include restoring ecosystems, improving water efficiency by 10% by 2030, reducing pollution, and modernizing management through digital technologies. Southern Europe is particularly affected, with Cyprus and Malta exceeding critical water usage thresholds.

    Solar Eclipse and Perseid Meteor Shower Visible with Clear Skies

    Germany and parts of Spain will experience clear skies during the solar eclipse and Perseid meteor shower, according to weather forecasts. The solar eclipse will occur on Wednesday evening, with up to 90% coverage of the sun, while the Perseids will reach their peak in the following night. Astronomers expect up to 100 meteors per hour, with no interference from moonlight due to the new moon phase. The weather service expects mostly cloud-free skies, with only a low risk of showers in the Alps and a few high-level cirrus clouds in the north. Light cloud cover is not an issue for observing a partial solar eclipse. The last total solar eclipse to hit European mainland was in 1999. Observers are advised to use solar eclipse glasses for safety.
