More than half of Europe and the Mediterranean basin was hit by drought in mid-August, according to an AFP analysis of data from the European Union\u2019s climate monitor.<\/p>\n
The data showed 52 percent of the region was affected \u2014 more for that period than in any year since data collection began in 2012.<\/p>\n
The mid-August drought followed similar records over previous months, according to\u00a0the European Drought Observatory (EDO) \u2014 part of the European Union\u2019s Copernicus climate programme.<\/p>\n

The data came from satellite observation and combined the level of rainfall, soil humidity, and the state of vegetation.<\/p>\n
In mid-August southeastern Europe was hit particularly hard \u2014 especially Armenia, where 99 percent of the soil was affected by drought from August 11 to 20.<\/p>\n
Georgia was not far behind on 98 percent, and Bulgaria and Kosovo with 97 percent.<\/p>\n
On the Atlantic Coast more than three quarters of Portugal was affected by drought.<\/p>\n
The country also experienced devastating wildfires in August which killed at least four people and left others injured.<\/p>\n
It was the hottest summer in Portugal since 1931, according to the national meteorological agency.<\/p>\n
