Western Europe hits record high temperatures over two months
Western Europe experienced the highest temperatures ever recorded during June and July, with a combined average temperature of 21.62°C, surpassing the 2022 record. These heatwaves are attributed to successive heat spells and severe drought conditions, alongside ocean temperatures reaching record highs for the second consecutive month due to the El Niño phenomenon and climate change effects. Data confirms that July 2023 was one of the hottest Julys on record, with surface air temperatures exceeding pre-industrial levels by 1.47°C, reflecting the ongoing impact of global warming and the increasing severity of extreme weather events.
