In France and the Netherlands, where temperatures rose above 40 °C, climate change made such a heat spell at least 10 times--and possibly 100 times--more likely to occur than a century or so ago. The findings come from a rapid analysis by scientists with the World Weather Attribution group that combined information from models and observations.
The group has analysed six European heat waves since 2010--including the one that occurred in late June, 2019--and has found that each one has been made significantly more likely and intense because of climate change.
Climate change made European heatwave up to 3°C hotter
