Exposed sandbanks sit in the middle of the Vistula River in Warsaw, Poland, on Thursday, Aug. 7, 2026, as prolonged drought and low rainfall continue to reduce water levels across the river.

Poland, like much of Europe, has experienced below-average rainfall and elevated temperatures in recent weeks, contributing to falling water levels in major rivers including the Vistula.
