In July, Austria experienced its longest heat wave since temperature records began, enduring weeks of extreme heat and a lack of rainfall that has caused drought, damaging key autumn crops, particularly corn, soybeans, and sugar beets, according to Austrian authorities. Austria has been suffering from extreme weather phenomena and harsh conditions in recent years, exacerbated by climate change, leading to significant economic losses and severe damage, especially in the agricultural sector, which exceeded one billion euros last year, according to the insurance industry's association, which confirmed that farmers are increasingly struggling with storms and floods. Christoph Matila, a meteorological expert in Austria, noted that the province of "Klagenfurt" recorded the longest heat wave since measurements began in 1950, with 11 consecutive hot days.
