Our latest analysis explores the role of human-induced climate change in the southeastern Australian bushfires in 2019–2020.
Attribution of the Australian bushfire risk to anthropogenic climate change

Human contribution to the record-breaking July 2019 heatwave in Western Europe
After the extreme heat that took place in the last week of June 2019, a second record-breaking heat wave struck Western Europe and Scandinavia at the end of July 2019.
Human contribution to record-breaking June 2019 heatwave in France
A heatwave struck large parts of Europe during the last week of June 2019, breaking several historical records at single locations in France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic and Spain.
Heatwave in northern Europe, summer 2018
The summer of 2018 has been remarkable in northern Europe. A very persistent high-pressure anomaly over Scandinavia caused high temperature anomalies and drought there from May to (at least) July.
Euro-Mediterranean heat, summer 2017
This year’s summer in Western Europe and the Euro-Mediterranean region has been remarkable in several aspects. Early summer heat during much of June affected western European countries (in particular, France, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, England, Portugal and Spain).
