Copernicus reports record heat in Western Europe in June and July
Western Europe experienced the highest recorded temperatures during June and July since record-keeping began, with an average combined temperature of 21.62°C, exceeding the previous record set in 2022. This occurred amid ongoing heatwaves and drought conditions. The Copernicus Institute confirmed that this phenomenon reflects ongoing unprecedented warming, characterized by low soil moisture levels and record-high ocean temperatures. The Mediterranean Sea's surface temperature in 2023 surpassed the previous record, and July was the second hottest July on record, with a rise of 1.47°C above pre-industrial levels.
