In Europe, warming occurs faster than on other continents of the planet. WMO: warming in Europe is faster than in other regions of the planet Climate and environment Last year, it became the warmest in the history of observations in Europe: record temperatures were noted in the central, eastern and southeastern regions. & Amp; NBSP; this is stated in the new issue of the annual report, which today was published on the issues of changing the climate as part of the Copernicus program and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). “Each additional fraction of a degree of fever is important, since it increases risks for our life, economics and planet. Adaptation is required. Therefore, WMO and her partners activate efforts to strengthen the systems of early warnings and climatic services to help persons who make decisions and be more stable. We achieve progress, but we need to go further and faster, and we must act together, ”said Saulo Celeste Secretary General VMO. record temperatures 60 > global average annual temperature in 2024 was approximately in about 2024 1.55 degrees Celsius above the pre -industrial average level of 1850-1900. At the same time, in Europe, warming is faster than on other continents of the planet, experts note. Almost half of the continent recorded record high annual temperatures. ~ 60 >The number of days with the “strong”, “very strong” and “extreme” heat has become the second largest in the history of observations. At the same time, during the year there was a striking contrast of climatic conditions between the east and west of Europe: in the east it was extremely dry, and in the west it was moist. 60 > according to the report, most of the Eastern Europe was the usual, and the eastern part of Ukraine and the separate regions of the southwest of Russia survived the most dry year in history in history observations. 62 ~ extreme weather phenomena ~ 60 > in 2024 60 percent of the territory of Europe (with the exception of Greenland and Spitzbergen) experienced more than the average, the number of days from at least “strong thermal thermal thermal thermal stress ”, when the temperature in the sensations is 32 degrees Celsius or higher. Europe also survived the largest flood since 2013. Almost one third of the river network, a flood was observed, exceeding at least a threshold of flooding. About 413 thousand people were injured from storms and floods in Europe, at least 335 people were killed. At the same time, in Eastern Europe, for most of the year, the level of river runoff was observed below the average, and in November – the lowest level in the history of observations. 60 > according to estimates, 42 thousand people were damaged from natural fires in Europe. In particular, in September, as a result of fires in Portugal, about 110 thousand hectares burned out in one week, which is about a quarter of the total annual burning area on the continent. 62 ~~ 60 > 62 ~ 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62The share of the European territory, in which frosts lasted less than 90 days, became in 2024 the most significant in the history of observations and amounted to about 69 percent with an average indicator of 50 percent. According to the report, a record low number of days with a “strong cold” was recorded. In many regions, few days with snow were also observed than on average. in all European regions there was an ice loss. On the glaciers of Scandinavia and Spitsbergen, the highest rates of mass loss were observed in the entire observation history. sea waves of heat in the whole year the sea surface temperature in the European region was the highest in the entire history observations – 0.7 degrees Celsius above the average. The highest annual temperature of the sea surface was recorded in the Mediterranean Sea, which significantly exceeded the previous record set in 2023. ~ 60 > higher sea surface temperatures were associated with sea waves, which have a destructive effect on the oceanic ecosystems and biodiversity, and the bio -rose Therefore, the socio-economic consequences can also have. taken measures ~ 60 > report authors also note that the share of electricity production due to renewable sources in 2024 has reached a high-level record and compiled 45 percent. ~ 60 > In addition, at present, 51 percent of European cities have a special plan for adaptation to climate change, which, according to the head & nbsp; the European Center for Mediciper Floransa Rabier, emphasizes the value of the report for adopting more efficient solutions.
