While recovering from the heatwave: and update on soil moisture, groundwater levels and water usage restrictions put in place in France and Belgium [part 1: https://twitter.com/FlorianDRX/status/1124734200937054208]
What are long term evolutions, how did it change since April?
On heatwaves: evolution = clear https://t.co/QjBvukuJle

Water situation in France: Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes [update: 1 June] @auvergnerhalpes
FR - Rainfall
Precipitation is 13 % below the long-term average, 13th driest month since 1959 http://bit.ly/309knhC https://t.co/fyKOEnSCWM
FR - Soil drought [update https://twitter.com/FlorianDRX/status/1124750222675066881]
*Deficit up to 60 % in large parts of the region https://t.co/bldNFvvPUo
FR - Streamflow [update https://twitter.com/FlorianDRX/status/1124750554167750658]
*Globally depressed streamflow: a majority of test points has an average flow rate below the ‘Five-Year Dry Flow’ [= monthly flow with a 4/5 probability of being exceeded each year] https://t.co/i42BakmXwN
FR - Groundwater levels [update https://twitter.com/FlorianDRX/status/1124750801610653698]
*Low groundwater levels in majority of the region http://bit.ly/2NrUyYL https://t.co/tvrr2CFqnz

Groundwater levels - absolute measurement.
- 40 % of measuring points very low groundwater level (brown) https://t.co/MJ8HRkPTdp
Groundwater levels - relative measurement: historical comparison
- 20 % of locations historically low (brown), 50 % low and 30 % normal (white)
Groundwater levels - future expectation [http://www.dov.vlaanderen.be/node/288]
- Next month very low groundwater levels expected https://t.co/0yiol91sW0
