Parts of Portugal and Spain are drier than they have been in 1200 years, according to new research. In Italy, the government has launched a massive crisis package against drought.

The drought is the result of an atmospheric high-pressure system driven by climate change, especially in the last 100 years, according to research published by the American journal Nature Geoscience on Monday.

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi on Monday declared a state of crisis and announced measures in response to the severe drought that has hit parts of the country.
