This is the best summary I could come up with:
Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Poland and Switzerland have all experienced their hottest Septembers on record, with unseasonably high temperatures set to continue into October, in a year likely to be the warmest in human history.
As 31C (88F) was forecast in south-west France on Sunday and 28C in Paris, the French weather authority, Météo-France, said September’s average temperature was 21.5C, between 3.5C and 3.6C above the norm for the 1991-2020 reference period.
Germany’s weather office, DWD, said this September had been the hottest since national records started, almost 4C higher than the 1961-1990 baseline, while Belgium’s 19C average temperature was also almost 4C warmer than the norm.
Poland’s weather institute has also announced September temperatures were 3.6C higher than average, and the hottest for the month since records began more than 100 years ago, as have authorities in Austria and Switzerland.
Scientists say climate change driven by human activity is pushing global temperatures higher, with the world at around 1.2C of warming above pre-industrial levels.
The disruption to the planet’s climate systems is making extreme weather events such as heatwaves, drought, wildfires and storms more frequent and more intense.
