Abstract. Over the last few years, methods have been developed to answer questions on the effect of global warming on recent extreme events. Many “event attribution” studies have now been performed, a sizeable fraction even within a few weeks of the event, to increase the usefulness of the results. In doing these analyses, it has become apparent that the attribution itself is only one step of an extended process that leads from the observation of an extreme event to a successfully communi...| ascmo.copernicus.org
As the week progresses, southerly winds are drawing in warmer air, pushing temperatures in the South of England toward heatwave conditions by the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of June (Met Office, 2025).
