January 2020 was the warmest month ever recorded in Europe. This is according to the European Union's Copernicus programme, which is responsible for observing and monitoring conditions on Earth. The data show a mean temperature 3.1 degrees above the values recorded between 1981 and 2010.
This is yet another confirmation of the effects of climate change. The mean was also 0.2 degrees Celsius higher than the previous record, which dated back to 2007. Furthermore, Copernicus explains that the further north one moves across the continent, the more pronounced the anomalies become — reaching peaks of +6 degrees in the Scandinavian countries and European Russia.
