Europe is experiencing a new climate characterized by increasingly intense and frequent heatwaves, as evidenced by record-breaking temperatures in May and June. These extreme weather events, directly linked to human-induced climate change driven by fossil fuel emissions, are more likely and severe than in the past. The UK, for instance, saw temperatures surpass previous June records, with some stations exceeding historic highs by significant margins. Nighttime temperatures also remained unusually high, leading to "tropical nights" where temperatures do not drop below 20C, a phenomenon historically rare in the UK. Across the continent, numerous European countries shattered their June temperature records, with some exceeding 40C. Scientists attribute this rapid warming in Europe to factors including the melting of snow and ice, reduced atmospheric pollution particles, and potential shifts in atmospheric circulation patterns, alongside the overall global warming trend. The warming seas are also exacerbating these conditions. Experts are certain that climate change has intensified these heatwaves, and warn that average summer temperatures will continue to rise globally until net-zero greenhouse gas emissions are achieved.
