Hundreds of temperature records broken over the summer

Feb 16,2020 12:38 am

Nearly 400 all-time high temperatures in the Northern hemisphere in the summer, according to an analysis of the temperature records.

The Records were broken in 29 countries for the period of 1. May to 30 August this year.

A third of the all-time high temperatures were in Germany, followed by France and the Netherlands.

The analysis was carried out by the California-based climate Institute.

Over the summer, there were 1,200 instances of places in the Northern hemisphere, the hottest you are ever in a month's time.

contain measurements from weather stations in the Northern hemisphere, at least 40 Years of observations.

Some of this data has not yet been subjected to the formal assessment of weather agencies. These reviews, in order to check for problems that may produce incorrect measurement results, caused sometimes to the neglect of a small fraction of The Records .

European heat waves

heat waves in Europe in June and July, rising temperatures, sent, resulting in A Number of local and national records.

France is an all-time high temperature of 46C, while the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands also reported a new all-time highs.

This summer was known for the very large number of all-time temperature records in Europe, according to Dr. Robert Rohde, lead scientists of Berkeley Earth .

"Some places in Europe have their own history-weather-observations, More Than 150 years, and still the new all-saw-time-record highs," he told the BBC.

the extent of The hot-spell on The Continent is clearly visible when you look at a distribution, if the temperature records have been broken. At the end of July, all-time temperature records were in A Number of European countries, including the UK.

elsewhere, More Than 30 all-time records were broken in the United States , according to the Berkeley Earth data. In Japan, where 10 all-time temperature record was set by values.

The summer saw 396 all-time high temperatures.

The Most followed all-time temperature records in the measurement stations of the data broken covered were, in 2010, of 2003.

The increasing number of record high temperatures are a part of the long-term trend of Global Warming , said Dr. Rohde.

"As the earth warms, it has become easier for weather stations, to new all-time records. In The Past , we would have stated in the rule, only about 2% of The Weather stations recording a new record every year," he said.

"But, recently, sometimes we see years like 2019, with 5% or more of The Weather stations recording a new all-time record. "

In part, The Number of new data records is affected, where heat waves occur and the temperatures recorded. There are more weather stations in the United States and Europe, which means that to break a heat wave in the areas that has the potential, the more records.

But with Climate Change a hot spell, like the one that says in Europe this summer intensive, Dr. Rohde, that, while the new records are not fixed, every year, in every place, you will be more likely.

Warmest month ever

July 2019 was.

globally, it was slightly warmer by 0. 04 Degree Celsius (0. 072 Fahrenheit ) than the previous hottest month on record, July 2016.

with The new July record, followed by a global data set for June, which was confirmed by the data from several different agencies.

the scientists say, it is the latest sign that the earth is undergoing an unprecedented warming.

The scorching July heat wave, which reached Europe was both more frequent and more intense due to human-induced climate made change, scientists reported.

One study reported that the warming increases the intensity of The Event .

"in This July 2019, the heat wave was so extreme about continental Western Europe , that the observed sizes would have been extremely unlikely without Climate Change ," said Dr Friederike Otto , Deputy Director of the Environmental Change Institute at Oxford University And One of the authors of the report.

The heat wave in France was at least 10 times and up to 100 times more likely due to human activities.

In the UK, the shorter event was at least Three Times as likely, experts said.
