Europe Weather

As warm January weather smashes records around Europe, ski slopes in the Alps are experiencing a dearth of snow.

France this year experienced the hottest year since records began, the country's national weather service said Wednesday, as global warming stokes temperatures globally.

At least 15,000 people have died in Europe because of hot weather in 2022 so far, the World Health Organization said Monday, with Spain and Germany among the worst-affected countries.

The World Weather Attribution service said the drought that gripped Europe, China and North America between June and August was likely to occur once every 20 years at current levels of warming.

Three heatwaves since June produced France's second-hottest summer since records began in 1900, the Meteo France weather service said Tuesday, warning that scorching temperatures will be increasingly common.

Scientists have warned that heatwaves like the ones being felt in the US and Europe will become more frequent and rise in intensity due to global warming.

Experts blame climate change for the latest heatwave and note the more frequent extreme weather will only worsen in years to come.

Over the last few days, words such as "baked", "sizzling" and "scorching" have been used aplenty to describe the weather in England and parts of Europe.

Spain, France and other western European nations on Saturday sweltered under a blistering June heatwave that has sparked forest fires and concerns that such early summer blasts of hot weather will now become the norm.

France, Spain and other western European nations braced on Saturday for a sweltering June weekend that is set to break records and sparked concern about forest fires and the effects of climate change.

Extreme weather events such as heatwaves and floods have cost Europe almost 510 billion euros and around 142,000 lives over the past 40 years, according to a new report published Thursday.

Concerns over temperature soaring above 50 degrees Celsius in the future have worried Met officials in Europe. The provisional report that an Italian island may have set its all-time heat record in Europe, has stoked climate fears.

Heatwaves in the U.S. and floods in western Europe have dominated the news cycle recently, forcing us to re-examine the relationship between climate change and extreme weather. Other catastrophes are going unnoticed.

With extreme weather killing more than 150 people in Europe and searing heat across parts of North America, the debate around climate change has grown more fierce in recent weeks.
