Climate change made Europe's heat wave up to 3 degrees hotter

The UK, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands all recorded their highest temperatures ever in the July heat wave, with the mercury topping 40 degrees in much of mainland Europe. The July event was the second record-smashing heat wave in two months, with a similar one bringing 45.9 degree temperatures to France and causing wildfires in Spain in June. Less than 5% of all European households have been air-conditioned, and public transport can grind to a halt in intense heat. A group of European scientists previously concluded that the June heat wave was made at least five times more likely because of climate change -- and perhaps 100 times more likely.

In June, a heat wave broke temperature records in eight countries, including France, the Czech Republic and Switzerland. A Eurostar train traveling from Belgium to London broke down on Wednesday, trapping passengers in 40 degrees Celsius heat, without air conditioning. Otto said that France took important mitigation measures after a heat wave in 2003 contributed to tens of thousands of premature deaths. These were activated during the June 2019 heat wave and measures including closing schools and setting up helplines reduced the impacts," he said.
