The 2018 European heatwave in Northern and Eastern Europe caused multiple and simultaneous crop failures-among the highest observed in recent decades . These yield losses were associated with extremely low rainfall in combination with high temperatures between March and August 2018 . Across Europe, in 2018, people experienced one of the worst harvests in a generation. Northern and Eastern Europe experienced multiple and simultaneous crop failures-among the highest observed in recent decades. These yield losses were associated with extremely low rainfalls in combination with high temperatures between March and August 2018. This compounding of extreme conditions in 2018 led to one of the highest negative relative yield anomalies at the scale of Eastern and Northern Europe, across a large array of crop species .
