The key messages are below:-

• In 2020, the annual temperature for Europe was the highest on record; at least 0.4°C warmer than the next five warmest years, which all occurred during the last decade.
• Winter in northeastern Europe was nearly 1.9°C warmer than the previous record
• 2020 saw the largest number of sunshine hours since satellite records began in 1983. 
• In February 2020, a large area of Europe was affected by above-average precipitation from several heavy rainfall events. However, northern parts of western Europe experienced one of the driest springs of the last 40 years, in terms of both rainfall and soil moisture.
• Storm Alex, in early October 2020, was the first storm of the 2020–21 European winter storm season. The storm brought unusually high levels of rainfall in a short period of time and broke many one-day precipitation records in the UK, northwestern France and in the southern Alps.

The race to reduce climate change is on. 

We all need to do our bit.
