We restricted our analysis to the months of June–July–August, so our study is (1) comparable with existing studies focused on the summer drought and (2) able to capture the peak of the warm and dry conditions across Europe that would be most stressful for the vegetation functioning, from the perspective of heat and water supply. 2, record 1, English, - summer%20drought

La sécheresse estivale est une spécificité du climat méditerranéen, qui se caractérise par la coïncidence entre la saison sèche et celle des plus fortes températures. Ces dernières dépassent alors souvent les 30 °C et les précipitations sont faibles voire inexistantes dans certaines régions. La sécheresse estivale n'a pas partout la même durée : de 2 à 3 mois sur la rive nord de la Méditerranée occidentale (Gênes, Barcelone), elle s'étale sur 6 à 7 mois sur les côtes du Levant (Beyrouth, Jaffa). 2, record 1, French, - s%C3%A9cheresse%20estivale
