Climate Now by Copernicus - April 2023
Hotter, drier and sunnier: What's happening to the European climate?

On a global level, April 2023 was 0.3° Celsius above the 1991-2020 average. In Europe, it was a mixed picture. It was cooler from the UK to Turkey, but much warmer around the Iberian Peninsula. There were a string of all-time high temperatures for April in the western Mediterranean.

The recent Copernicus European State of the Climate report for 2022 painted a picture of a continent that's getting ever hotter, drier and sunnier. Why is this? And what are the implications for our health?

The 2022 annual climate data was released by the Copernicus Climate Change Service. The figures confirm that last year, Europe went through its hottest summer on record.
