New analysis shows the summer seasonal temperature recorded across Europe in 2021 would have been impossible without human induced climate change.

The summer of 2021 was Europe’s hottest on record with temperatures close to 1°C above the 1991-2020 average. To assess the impact of climate change on these high seasonal temperatures, scientists used a large collection of computer simulations to compare the climate as it is today, with about 1°C

An historic day for weather and climate in the UK. That’s the view from Met Office scientists and forecasters as they review this week's extreme record-breaking temperatures.

In line with World Meteorological Organization guidelines, climate is measured against 30-year ‘averaging’ periods. Known as ‘climate normal’ periods, these act as a benchmark against which the observational records
