Human contribution to record-breaking June 2019 heatwave in France  

 

A heatwave struck large parts of Europe during the last week of June 2019, breaking several historical records at single locations in France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic and Spain.

Here we present an analysis of the role of human activities in the heatwave, conducted in near real time by using well assessed methodologies. The analysis is not yet peer-reviewed and was written quickly, albeit by scientists experienced in event attribution, working with experts familiar with the conditions in the region studied. We used thoroughly tested methods to do the analysis, evaluation of models and checked the observations for errors.
