Economist Tomas Dvorak of Oxford Economics estimates that extreme heat in the summer of 2026 will push eurozone food inflation up by 1 to 2 percentage points and drag down third-quarter GDP growth by approximately 0.2 percentage points. Triodos Bank, a Dutch sustainable bank, released an analysis report stating that this heatwave and drought could lead to an annual GDP loss of about 1% for the EU, equivalent to approximately 180 billion euros (about 208 billion US dollars).
