欧洲今年六月遭遇严重热浪，对农业生产造成重创。根据欧洲谷物和油籽贸易协会（Coceral）的评估，此次热浪摧毁了900万吨农作物，导致欧洲农民约20亿欧元的收入损失 [1]。这一收获规模创27个欧盟成员国及英国自2018年以来的最低记录 [1]。
受灾最严重的国家包括法国，其玉米损失估计达340万吨，经济损失约8.91亿欧元 [1]。匈牙利和西班牙分别损失240万吨和140万吨农作物 [1]。六月成为西欧有记录以来最热的同月份 [1]。
英国全国农民联盟副主席保罗·汤普金斯表示，"对许多种植业农民来说，这可能是又一个困难且成本高昂的收获季，因为2024年和2025年都经历了极端天气影响，既有干旱也有洪水" [1]。能源与气候情报小组分析师汤姆·兰卡斯特指出，"这将直接打击农民的收入，同时削弱欧洲的粮食安全" [1]。这一事件引发了对欧洲粮食安全和全球粮食价格上涨的广泛担忧 [1]。
Europe's June heatwave has devastated agricultural output across the continent, with the European Cereals and Oilseeds Trade Association (Coceral) estimating that approximately 9 million tonnes of crops were destroyed, resulting in losses of around €2 billion (£1.7 billion) to European farmers [1]. The damage represents the smallest harvest recorded across the 27 EU member states and the United Kingdom since 2018, fueling concerns about European food security and potential upward pressure on global grain prices [1].
France has been particularly hard hit, with corn losses estimated at 3.4 million tonnes and costs reaching approximately €891 million [1]. Hungary and Spain have also suffered significant damage, losing 2.4 million tonnes and 1.4 million tonnes respectively [1]. June marked the hottest June on record for Western Europe [1].
The agricultural disruption threatens farm incomes at a critical time. Tom Lancaster, an analyst at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU), stated that the losses "will hit farmers in the pockets, reducing their income and undermining European food security at the same time" [1]. Paul Tompkins, deputy president of the British National Farmers' Union, emphasized the compounding nature of recent weather challenges, noting that "for many arable farmers, this could be another difficult and expensive harvest after extreme weather impacts in both 2024 and 2025 which saw both drought and flood" [1].
