Variation of average temperature in Europe

The European heat wave in 2003 was the hottest summer temperature record in Europe. The heat wave has caused harm to the health of residents in many countries, and drought has led to crop shortage, killing 35 thousand people in southern Europe.

France

14802 people were killed, most of them were elderly people who died in the French heat wave.

Impact on crops

Crops in southern Europe suffered from drought.

Europe is still hit by a heat wave, and the temperature in Britain has reached a record high of 130.

Beijing, August 1 1- The heat waves in many European countries hit people, and the temperature in Britain rose further on Sunday afternoon (August 10), breaking the record of the highest temperature in summer continuously. The temperature in Graveson, Kent reached 38. 1 degree Celsius (100.6 degree Fahrenheit), the highest temperature on record.

Earlier, the British Meteorological Department said that the temperature at London Heathrow Airport reached 37.9 degrees Celsius (100.2 degrees Fahrenheit) on Sunday afternoon, breaking the record of 1990, which was 37. 1 degree.

The temperature has been recorded in Britain since 1875, and it has a history of 130 years. The highest temperature on Sunday is 38. 1 degree Celsius, which is the highest temperature recorded since 130 years ago. But the high temperature brought heavy rain and lightning to northern England.

It is reported that 20 people were injured by lightning. On Sunday afternoon in Birmingham football field, 14 people were injured by lightning in the game. A woman was directly hit, resulting in a myocardial infarction.

The weather forecast warns that some European countries will continue to suffer from high temperature weather similar to the Sahara desert in the next few days.

Pope John Paul II called on people to pray for rain in Europe to end the heat wave that killed at least 40 people.

Forest fires in several European countries, such as Portugal, Greece and the Netherlands, have seriously threatened the environmental heritage of Europe. In Portugal, a forest fire driven by hot air destroyed170,000 hectares of forest land, killing 65,438+05 people, including a firefighter. The official estimated loss is 1 1 billion dollars.

In Paris, firefighters said that they received 600 distress calls related to high temperature every day. Due to the heat wave, about100000 chickens died in France.

Dr. Zhi, director of Weather Online Asia Department, was interviewed by Deutsche Welle Radio in Bonn this afternoon and expressed his views on the recent European heat wave. The following are the main points of his speech and some background information.

Recently, there have been heat waves in many parts of Europe. For example, the highest temperature in some cities in France, Spain, Portugal and Italy exceeded 40℃ yesterday. According to the data we have, the highest temperature in Trier, Germany reached 38℃ yesterday, and the somatosensory temperature may reach 40℃.

Why is there a heat wave in Europe recently? Xie Fei analyzed the current circulation situation prevailing in Europe from the perspective of plot outline. At present, most parts of Europe are controlled by a huge blocking heating flow and high pressure. This kind of high pressure is characterized by stability and little movement. The temperature in the high-pressure area is higher than the surrounding area, and the amplitude increases with the height, reaching the maximum at a certain height. Due to the blocking effect of this high pressure, the cloud and precipitation area from the Atlantic Ocean cannot move to Central Europe, but can only move northward along the edge of the high pressure. This has led to continuous sunny and hot weather in Central Europe, Western Europe and Southern Europe. However, this high pressure will move to the south and west next week. By then, a cold air from the northwest will affect Central Europe, and it will be cooler in western and southern Germany. The heat wave is expected to end around the end of next week.

As for why extreme weather events have occurred around the world recently, Xie Fei believes that these extreme weather events are related to global warming. Many scientists believe that global warming is becoming more and more serious because humans emit a lot of greenhouse gases. In the past 100 years, the global average temperature rose by 0.6℃. According to the data of the World Meteorological Organization, the global average land temperature in May this year was the highest since 1880. In the future 100, human-induced greenhouse effect will increase the global temperature 1.4-5.8℃. The numerical model study of Max Planck Institute of Meteorology in Hamburg shows that extreme precipitation will be more frequent in the process of global warming, and extreme weather will occur more and more easily in the future. The World Meteorological Organization believes that recent extreme weather events around the world, such as high temperature, drought and floods, are all related to global warming.
