Anthropogenic climate change affects meteorological drought risk in Europe by L Gudmundsson, S I Seneviratne

“…Both an observational and a climate model-based assessment suggest that it is >95% likely that human emissions have increased the probability of drought years in the Mediterranean, whereas it is >95% likely that the probability of dry years has decreased in northern Europe. In central Europe the evidence is inconclusive. …”
