💧 Could the low river flows associated with Europe’s 2026 summer #drought have been anticipated early enough to prepare? A new case study shows how SEED-FD’s seasonal hydrological forecast can indicate such conditions up to 6 months ahead.
🔎Learn more at our 23 Nov webinar.
📅 Save the date:
Join the SEED-FD webinar on 23 November to explore new tools and approaches for global flood and drought forecasting and early warning.
👥 For forecasters, water managers, civil protection and NGOs. More details coming soon.

✨ This week at #EGU26, SEED-FD featured a poster at @EuroGeosciences on how low soil moisture can lead to reduced cereal harvests in Europe.
This helps to better anticipate drought impacts on agriculture. 🌾
#seed_fd #HorizonEurope
✨ At #EGU26, SEED-FD was featured in 2 presentations yesterday at @EuroGeosciences, sharing insights into improving #flood and #drought forecasts. Topics covered multi-source data assimilation and enhancing the consistency of global datasets, using soil moisture as an example.
🎉SEED-FD’s Intermediate Review Meeting is happening today!
🔍 We are presenting our results advancing flood and drought forecasting, focusing on testing, refining and communicating solutions to strengthen preparedness and anticipatory action.
