ClimaMeter is a rapid-response scientific framework for understanding extreme weather events in a changing climate, based on looking at similar past weather situations. The consortium brings together scientists from multiple institutions and disciplines to analyze extreme events in real time and place them in the context of climate change.
In its analysis of the current heat wave in Europe, ClimaMeter writes:
  • Meteorological conditions similar to those causing the May 2026 Western European heatwave are up to 2.5 °C warmer than they were in the past.
  • The most extreme heat conditions intensified by climate change have exposed about 124 million people and 5885 billion USD of economic activity.
  • This event was associated with rare meteorological conditions that, in the past, occurred mainly in autumn but are now also emerging in spring. In late spring, however, they can favor the development of a heat dome, amplifying already hot conditions.
  • We ascribe the high temperatures causing the May 2026 Western European Heatwave to human-driven climate change, while natural climate variability likely played a minor role.
