- In France, wildfires are expected to occur in the town of Gironde, while in Gironde itself, the “fixed” effect is not explained by the attribution, but rather by how the hazard is defined as “contained.”
- In Greece, the heatwave is driven by the weather conditions, in particular by the effects of the Mediterranean anticyclone, which is formed over the region; the same is also explained by a new record of temperatures in Kefalonia.
- According to World Weather Attribution materials, the heatwave in France was made more likely by human-caused climate change, with Copernicus data.
In Europe, the heatwave crisis is driven by three scenarios: in France, wildfires are in the regions of Gironde and Var, while Greece is driven by extreme heat through the “contained” effect; in the meantime, Spain is driven by the heatwave through the “contained” effect.
According to the data from the materials, Greece would have had 264 fewer heatwave days without human-caused climate change. It is also estimated that, to prevent two fronts in France, it would have been necessary to have about 3,000 fewer heatwave days, which would have limited the spread of the heatwave.
In particular, the heatwave in the department Var, according to the materials, would not have been possible without human-caused climate change; however, it is not explained by the “contained” effect. Why the region saw the heatwave is explained by the fact that the region was affected by a long-lasting high-pressure system, which led to a temperature increase. The heatwave affected about 2,500 people.
Greece, meanwhile, in the absence of human-caused climate change, would have had a much lower risk of heatwave, and it is also estimated that the new record of temperatures in Kefalonia would not have occurred. According to Reuters data, Greek heatwave conditions affected at least 500 people, and in addition, technical data show that the fire was caused by the heatwave. The data also show that the fire was caused by the heatwave in France and Romania.
As part of the situation in Greece, which is driven by the weather conditions, the “contained” effect is explained by the fact that the heatwave is driven by the Mediterranean anticyclone; however, it is also explained by the fact that the heatwave is driven by the “contained” effect. According to the materials, the heatwave is explained by the fact that the heatwave is driven by human-caused climate change.
Accordingly, the heatwave in Europe is also explained by the fact that the heatwave is driven by climate change. The materials also note that World Weather Attribution found that the heatwave was made more likely by climate change. It is also noted that Copernicus Climate Change Service has stated that the heatwave is driven by climate change.
In particular, the heatwave in Europe would not have been possible without human-caused climate change. Reuters data also indicate that the heatwave is driven by human-caused climate change, and that the risk of heatwave is increased by the “contained” effect. The heatwave in Europe is also explained by the fact that the heatwave is driven by climate change and that the risk of heatwave is increased by the “contained” effect.
