LONDON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Europe has warmed more than twice as much as the rest of the world over the past three decades and experienced the greatest temperature increase of any continent, according to a report by the World Meteorological Organization. The report on the state of the climate in Europe follows a summer of extremes. "Europe presents a live picture of a warming world and reminds us that even well prepared societies are not safe from impacts of extreme weather events," WMO secretary-general Petteri Taalas said in a statement. For example, fewer clouds over Europe during the summer has meant more sunlight and heat now reaches the continent, said Freja Vamborg, senior scientist with the Copernicus Climate Change Service. Some scientists have called Europe a "heatwave hotspot" as the number of heatwaves on the continent have increased faster than in other regions due to changes in atmospheric circulation.

☆ Europa a atins temperaturi-record în anul 2020. „Toate tendinţele merg într-o direcţie greşită”

Încălzirea a fost evidentă îndeosebi în sezonul hibernal, cu 1,4 grade Celsius în plus faţă de recordul anterior şi cu 3,4 grade Celsius peste media din timpul iernilor din perioada 1981-2010. Zona arctică, în ansamblul său, a cunoscut al doilea cel mai călduros an înregistrat vreodată, cu 2,2 grade Celsius peste media din perioada 1981-2020. Drept urmare, stratul de gheaţă din zona arctică a fost redus la cele mai joase niveluri măsurate vreodată. Toamna, însă, a fost diferită, deosebit de umedă şi marcată de un eveniment meteorologic excepţional, furtuna Alex. ''Este mai puţin clar pentru alţi indicatori, însă toate tendinţele merg într-o direcţie greşită", a avertizat Jean-Noël Thepaut.
