The extreme conditions — particularly heat waves — are direct symptoms of climate change, Clare Nullis, the meteorological organization's media officer, said.
“We expect when 2019 comes to an end, we will see the warmest five-year period on record. Climate change is very much real, it is not a future distant scenario, it is happening now, and it is playing out through extreme weather events,” she told NBC News. France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands are also experiencing above-normal temperatures this week. Nullis said meteorologists in Belgium told her they were having to draw weather maps to include highs of 104 degrees for the first time.While the current blast of hot air is supposed to be short-lived, with temperatures returning to normal by the weekend, it's adding to the toll felt by regions that have already seen extreme heat this season.
“The remarkable thing about the summer so far in Europe is that we are seeing this one-two double whammy,” she said., surpassing 114 degrees in the southern towns of Vérargues and Gallargues-le-Montueux on June 28. Although temperatures have cooled in the weeks in between, the country hasn’t received any rain, Nullis said. The combination of heat and drought is not only drying soil but has also reduced water levels in many rivers.
According to meteorologists that get the daily weather correct roughly half the time? Surely not!
There are much higher temperature cases,you piece of butter
Since you’re talking about Britain wouldn’t be logical to have a picture that resembles what you’re talking about rather than a pic of Paris ?
Countries with different weather complain all the time go away rain go away snow and cold we want the sun now, sun comes oh no go away sun so deal with it, for example if you go to the beach you can’t complain for being too hot 😆 😆 😆
When will we begin holding China and India accountable for their annual pollution output?
The climate change is starting to really scare me. People aren't used to this heat and I fear that more people will become victims of us destroying the environment.
Climate Change, a simple way to understand: 3 Billion humans=no prob for earth 8 Billion humans=little prob for earth 12 Billion humans=big prob for earth Simple as that And what is the answer: make MORE humans and kill VWcars 🤣🤣 We deserve to go

Damn the Sun! A full scale global thermonuclear retaliatory strike is the only solution. That’ll teach it a lesson.

Climate change is the single most important issue facing us as a civilization. our man made inventions and norms pale in comparison. The youth get it, but the old fossils in the government want to continue using fossil fuels, enriching themselves and others.
Time to join Greta Thunberg!
