Copernicus: Zomer 2022 warmste in Europa

The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), implemented by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts on behalf of the European Commission with funding from the EU, routinely publishes monthly climate bulletins reporting on the changes observed in global surface air temperature, sea ice cover and hydrological variables. All the reported findings are based on computer-generated analyses using billions of measurements from satellites, ships, aircraft and weather stations around the world.

August 2022 surface air temperature:

Globally, the average August 2022 temperature was:

0.3°C higher than the 1991-2020 average for the month, joint third warmest August on record
similar to the values for August 2017 and 2021 and within about 0.1°C of the higher values reached in August 2016 and 2019
The average temperature over Europe in 2022 was:

the highest on record for both August and summer (June – August) by substantial margins of 0.8°C over 2018 for August and 0.4°C over 2021 for summer
European temperatures were most above average in the east of the continent in August, but were still well above average in the south-west, where they had been high also in June and July
Heatwaves were prevalent in this part of Europe and over central and eastern China for all three summer months. North America also experienced one of its warmest summers
August 2022 - Hydrological conditions:

August 2022 was generally much drier than average in much of western and parts of eastern Europe.
Conversely, it was wetter-than average over most of Scandinavia and parts of southern and southeastern Europe. Southern regions were hit by a “derecho” storm, with extreme winds and rainfall.
Conditions were also wetter than average in many extratropical regions of North America and Asia: in many locations heavy precipitation triggered floods and inundations. Pakistan saw particularly severe conditions with record breaking rainfall.
Among the drier-than-average extratropical regions, parts of China experienced severe drought.
Boreal summer 2022 - Hydrological conditions:

The summer 2022 was characterised by hot and dry conditions over much of western Europe. In much of Scandinavia, regions of central and south-eastern Europe, Greece and western Turkey, conditions were predominantly wetter than average.
In boreal summer 2022, it was drier than average in central North and South America and across central Asia. The Horn of Africa continued to experience drought. Conditions were predominantly wetter-than-average in south Asia, particularly in Pakistan, in eastern Australia and in most of southern Africa.

Geen verrassing dat dit de warmste Europese zomer ooit zou worden.
