BRUSSELS – Europe had the warmest summer on record last year, contributing to thousands of deaths, marine heat waves and extreme weather, an analysis has found.
Sea surface temperatures reached record highs and there was also “unprecedented” glacier melting, the agencies said. “Summer was the hottest ever recorded: the high temperatures exacerbated the severe and widespread drought conditions, fuelled violent wildfires that resulted in the second largest burnt area on record, and led to thousands of heat-associated excess deaths,” said Mr Petteri Taalas, secretary general of the WMO.
Last year a heat wave brought record high temperatures to multiple European countries. There were also floods in Italy, Portugal and Greece.
