The decoding causes the record heat in Europe

Observations show that the June heat waves similar to a century ago have a lower temperature than those of June's hot sunshine of about 4 degrees Celsius .

Climate change due to human activity could be the cause of the scorching heat wave in Europe last week, in which southern France recorded a record heat of 45.9 degrees Celsius - 4 degrees higher than the average heat level.

This is the conclusion of an international team of scientists in the study published July 2.

According to a report by the World Weather Attribution, observations show that the June heat waves similar to a century ago have a lower heat level than today's 4 degrees Celsius heat waves.

Climate change is likely to cause the temperature increase to be at least five times higher than before.

To draw this conclusion, scientists used computer models for the last 3 days from June 26-28 to calculate the temperature levels they predicted.

The new record temperature of France, recorded in Gallargues-le-Montueux in the south of this country, is nearly 2 degrees C higher than the previous record in August 2003.

Europe is experiencing a severe heat wave in the summer, with temperatures reaching a record above 45 degrees Celsius in many countries such as France, Bulgaria, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Greece and the Northern Republic of Macedonia. .

According to meteorologists, the sunshine is raging at this "Old Continent" caused by the low pressure system on the Atlantic Ocean , bringing scorching hot air from North Africa into Europe.

This intense heat wave once again shows the impact of global warming and these extreme weather patterns are likely to become more and more frequent.

Scientists warn that global warming is linked to the use of fossil fuels by humans, making the heat waves more frequent.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns that the current hot situation in Europe is following the extreme trend under the impact of greenhouse gases.

WMO predicts a high-risk Earth will experience the hottest 5 years (2015-2019) in history. With high temperatures in the first 5 months of the year, 2019 has been considered the third warmest year in the history of the world.

Meanwhile, the European Union's Climate Change Program Copernicus (C3S) said June 2019 was the hottest June in history.
