According to the Climate Change Service of the European Copernicus Program, Western Europe recorded the hottest period during June and July. Data indicates that temperatures reached 21.62 degrees Celsius, representing a significant deviation of 2.79 degrees Celsius above the established June heat record for the 1991 to 2020 period. Analysis of the measurements revealed that the most extreme temperatures were concentrated in the western regions of the continent, while other areas experienced considerably cooler conditions.
Furthermore, Western Europe endured an unusually prolonged stretch of elevated temperatures spanning from late May through the end of June, a period during which four separate heat records were broken. Looking at the continent as a whole, the preceding July was documented as the eleventh hottest on record, registering an average temperature of 20.49 degrees Celsius. This trend was mirrored on a global scale, where the last July also ranked as the eleventh hottest in recorded history.
The data underscores the significant thermal variations across Europe during the summer months, highlighting pronounced localized heatwaves contrasting with cooler areas across the continent.
