De ce seacă Bihorul. Climatolog: „Seceta nu trece în două zile, se acumulează. 2026 nu e doar un an prost”

The severe drought in Bihor is attributed to a combination of insufficient rainfall, extreme heat, and increased evaporation, exacerbated by climate change. The region entered summer with a water deficit from the previous autumn, and the lack of precipitation continued into spring, leading to record low water levels in many rivers. Climatologist Alex Trandafir emphasizes that the cumulative nature of drought makes it more dangerous than isolated heatwaves. He warns that Europe is warming faster than the global average, increasing the risk of drought. Authorities should consider alternative water sources and improve irrigation to mitigate future crises.
