Western Europe records hottest June and July on record
The EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service says Western Europe has experienced its hottest June and July combined, with average temperatures reaching 21.62 degrees Celsius.
The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) announced on Monday that Western Europe has recorded its hottest start to summer — June and July combined — since climate observations began.
Record average temperature
According to the service, the average air temperature across the region during these two months reached 21.62 degrees Celsius. This figure is described as the highest ever recorded for this particular period.
C3S is part of a European Union programme that collects and analyses climate data, including temperature observations across the continent. The service's reports are regularly used as a reference point for assessing long-term climate trends and comparing individual years' weather conditions with historical averages.
The source report did not provide further details on which specific regions experienced the most intense heat, nor did it address possible consequences of such a temperature rise for the environment, agriculture, or public health.
