Of 27 European countries analysed by the Guardian, 12 recorded their highest-ever temperature anomaly for at least one month in 2022. In each case, the anomalies were more than 1.9C above the average temperature recorded between 1991 and 2020 for at least one month.
The EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) released data yesterday showing Europe recorded its second warmest year on record, and its hottest-ever summer. The highest temperature increases were recorded in late summer, October, and December. In Austria, the average across October 2022 was 3.3C warmer than the average October temperature recorded between 1991 and 2020. France and Slovenia also recorded temperature anomalies of 3C or more that month. Croatia and Greece both experienced 3C in December.
Italy was warmer than average for all but two months of the year. It recorded its highest-ever monthly temperature anomaly for three different months: May, October and December. Spain and Portugal broke records for monthly anomalies on three different occasions.
Northern and western Europe experienced prolonged and intense heatwaves over the year. Much of the continent endured drought, and summer wildfire emissions were at their highest for 15 years.
