Climate change made the recent “relentless” heatwave in Norway, Sweden and Finland about 2C hotter and at least 10 times more likely, scientists have said.
Researchers from the World Weather Attribution (WWA) network, which assesses the role of climate change in extreme weather, said the two weeks of unusually hot weather from mid-July, with temperatures above 30C, would be “extremely rare” without human-caused global warming.
