How Europe’s rapid warming has fuelled a record May heatwave

Europe is bracing for more extreme heat after record May temperatures swept across Britain, Ireland and France this week – with scientists saying a “heat dome” over western Europe is combining with human-driven climate change, shifting weather patterns and rapid Arctic warming to intensify heat across the world’s fastest-warming continent.

Why is Europe heating up faster than the rest of the world?

Europe is in the grip of an early-season heatwave, with record May temperatures driven by a “heat dome” of hot air over the western part of the continent. Scientists point to human-caused emissions, shifting atmospheric patterns and rapid Arctic warming as key factors amplifying extreme heat across the region.
