Reading, UK: United Kingdom had its hottest day on record three months ago. As a severe heatwave moved throughout all of Europe, records were also broken in some parts of Europe including Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Now that the jet stream, which is a strong wind that blows from west to east, is causing much of western Europe to experience unusually mild autumnal temperatures, national weather services predict that temperatures will reach 20 Celsius this weekend in parts of Britain, Germany, France, and other countries.

Although studies prove that most of this is due to natural weather patterns or “luck of the draw,” they also assert that it is obvious that the climate issue is causing temperatures to rise. Britain has been experiencing above-average temperatures, but the Met Office predicts that much of mainland Europe will also be exceptionally hot in the coming days.

The Office also predicts that the exceptionally warm temperatures will decline in November and be replaced by variable and unsteady weather.

“It’s not necessarily clear that these jet stream shifts are necessarily linked to climate change in and of themselves. But it’s very clear that when you have these particular conditions given the warming climate, they obviously bring warmer temperatures,” Christopher O’Reilly, a research fellow at the University of Reading’s meteorology department,

The UN’s environment agency is gravely concerned despite the warm weather and claims that national pledges to reduce carbon emissions have been “woefully inadequate.”

According to a study by the top energy organization in the world, government spending on clean fuels in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will cause global carbon emissions from energy to reach their peak in 2025.

A scientific organization called Climate Central has unveiled an online tool that measures the impact of climate change on everyday temperatures around the world in real-time.

As stated by Andrew Pershing, Director of Climate Science at Climate Central, while high October temperatures in the UK are not unusual, the country had its warmest October temperature of 23.9 Celsius (75F) in 2018. Europe stood out globally in recent days with very significant climate shift index scores.

Britain’s index scores are now at level 2, which means that temperatures have become twice as likely to be caused by climate change. Scores as high as three or four are common in southern Europe around the beaches of Spain, France, and Italy.
