The 2024 European State of the Climate (ESOTC):

"This report highlights that Europe is the fastest warming continent, and is feeling the effects of extreme weather and climate change," said WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo. "Every fraction of a degree of warming matters, amplifying the risks to our lives, economies and the planet. Adapting to these risks is essential."

KEY MESSAGES
Europe in 2024

Europe experienced its warmest year, with
the second highest number of heat stress
days and tropical nights, on record.

For the European region and for the
Mediterranean Sea, the annual sea surface
temperature was the highest on record.
It was also the warmest year on record
for European lakes.

Glaciers in Scandinavia and Svalbard
recorded their highest annual rates of mass
loss. They also saw the largest mass loss of
any glacier region globally.

In September, ﬁres in Portugal burnt
around 110,000 ha (1100 km²),
representing around a quarter of Europe’s
total annual burnt area.

Europe experienced the most widespread
ﬂooding since 2013.

The year saw a record proportion of
electricity generation by renewables, at 45%.

European cities have become more resilient, but continued eﬀorts will unlock even greater potential
to tackle climate challenges eﬀectively.
Extreme weather events pose increasing risks to Europe’s built environment and infrastructure and
the services they support, and urgent action is needed, in particular on ﬂood risks

#ESOTC

📢🎙️The latest episode of the Climate & Atmosphere podcast focused on the #CopernicusClimate and WMO's #ESOTC 2023 report.

Participants from C3S, ASTA and WMO discussed key findings from the report.

🌍📊 #ESOTC reports that in 2023 Europe experienced an extraordinary year of extremes with record-breaking heatwaves, wildfires, floods, and drought.

RT by @CopernicusEU: 🌍🔥The 2023 wildfire season saw the fourth largest burnt area on record in the European Union, at a total of around 500,000 ha.

RT by @EUClimateAction: ❄️📊 #ESOTC highlights that fewer snow days than average and high summer temperatures contributed to exceptional glacier melt in central Europe in 2023.

Glaciers in the Alps lost 10% of their volume in the last two years.

☀️🌡️ #ESOTC reports contrasts in temperature & precipitation across Europe in Summer 2023.

Northwestern Europe had its warmest June, while September was the warmest on record for Europe as a whole.

R to @EUClimateAction: Temperatures were above average for 11 months of the year 🌡

But both the minimum and maximum temperatures for the year as a whole were well above average across much of Europe. 🌍

☀️📈 #ESOTC monitors heat stress - the impact of temperature, humidity, wind speed + other factors on the human body.

During the peak of a heatwave in July 2023, a record 41% of southern Europe was affected by ‘strong’ to ‘extreme heat stress’.
