A team of international scientists says that it is virtually certain that the heatwave that stretched across much of Europe in early July was more likely to happen now than in the past due to climate change.
European heatwave, July 2015
Year: 2015
Latest analyses
- Dangerous humid heat in southern West Africa about 4°C hotter due to climate change
- Reducing vulnerability and improved land management needed with increasing heavy rainfall in Mindanao Island, southern Philippines
- Climate change made the extreme rainfall associated with flooding in Midleton, Ireland more likely and more intense
- Despite known coastal cooling trend, risk of deadly wildfires in central Chile increasing with changing land management in a warming climate
- Extreme cold will still occur in Northern Europe, although less often – risking decreasing preparedness and higher vulnerability
