No.567: 欧州の熱波でも紹介していますが、記録を塗り替える高気温により、ESAによればこの1ヶ月で欧州が茶色くなったと報告されていますが、これは高温により、本来この時期に緑に繁茂しているべき植物が枯れていることによるものです。

こちらのNASA Earthの2017年と2018年の比較画像はとても参考になります。

As introduced in No.567: Heat Wave in Europe, a persistent heatwave has been lingering over parts of Europe, setting record high temperatures and turning typically green landscapes to brown. According to the ESA, these regions turned brown in just a month, during which several countries experienced record high temperatures and low precipitation.

NASA’s comparison images of Europe in 2017 and 2018 is comprehensive.
