Core Viewpoint - The recent heatwaves in Europe and North America are attributed to climate change, leading to unprecedented high temperatures and extreme weather events, with predictions of more frequent occurrences in the future [2][10][12]. Group 1: Temperature Trends - ECMWF forecasts indicate that temperatures in most parts of Europe will be significantly above average in the coming days [2]. - June 2023 is recorded as the hottest June in England's history, with London temperatures expected to reach 35 degrees Celsius [6]. - In France, temperatures are reported to be 10 to 14 degrees Celsius higher than historical averages, with some areas reaching 46 degrees Celsius [8]. Group 2: Extreme Weather Events - The "double heat dome" phenomenon is causing prolonged high-pressure systems, leading to extreme heat, wildfires, and flooding [9]. - The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) indicates that many regions in Europe are experiencing daily average temperatures that align with typical July and August conditions, suggesting a trend towards more extreme weather [8]. Group 3: Climate Change Implications - Climate change is causing heatwaves to become more frequent and intense, affecting broader geographical areas [8][12]. - Current climate models are not fully capturing the effects of human-induced warming on weather patterns, leading to a need for updated models to predict future events accurately [10][11].
