Temperature records for January were broken in several countries in recent days
RECENT UNSEASONABLY WARM weather across Europe has been dubbed a ‘very unusual event’ by climate experts.
Of particular note is Visokaye in Belarus, which hit a temperature of 16.4C, a full 4.5C above its previous record. “Normally if you break a record at any time of the year, you break it by tenths of a degree. In many parts of Central Europe, in particular, all-time temperature records for January have been beaten by [several] centigrade, and hundreds of stations have broken all-time records.
Europe was already not that cold because of climate change, so undoubtedly the fingerprints of climate change are all over this record. As for Ireland, it has remained firmly on the boundary between the cold and warm air.
