Heat and low rainfall in West-Central Europe had far reaching impacts on a variety of sectors including human health, energy, agriculture, and municipal water supply.
It was exacerbated by e.g. poor water infrastructure and leakages, and it came at a time when food and energy prices were already high resulting in compounding social and economic impacts.
The strength and meandering of the extratropical jet stream can simultaneously promote hot and dry conditions as well as heavy precipitation in different regions (e.g., Lau & Kim, 2012 )
