SloveniaThe Danube River at Osijek has reached a new historical low, with water levels dropping to -186 centimeters, the lowest recorded since measurements began. This marks the second time this record has been broken within two weeks, following a previous low of -174 centimeters in July. The extreme drop is attributed to prolonged drought, high temperatures, and reduced snowfall in the Alps. Aerial photographs reveal dramatic scenes, including narrowed river channels, extensive sandbanks, and exposed parts of the riverbed that were previously underwater. Some boats have partially grounded on dry land, while remnants of sunken vessels have resurfaced. Experts warn that such low water levels are a direct result of these environmental factors.
