Spain equalled the September temperature record by registering 45.7°C during a new heat wave. This extremely high value for the month of September represents a significant thermal anomaly.
The unusually high temperatures come after a series of extreme heat waves that ravaged Europe during the summer. These exceptional weather conditions have become increasingly frequent.
According to scientists, the heat waves that affected the European continent were intensified and prolonged by human-induced climate change. This link between climate change and extreme weather events has been increasingly documented by the scientific community.
