April's extreme heat would have been nearly impossible without climate change
Study: The episode of extreme heat that we suffered last week, in the middle of spring, "would have been almost impossible" without man-made climate change. The study, published this Friday, not only focuses on Spain, since that heat episode that frames between April 26 and 28 also affected Portugal, much of Morocco and northwestern Algeria. According to their estimate, the average temperatures observed during those three days have a return period of approximately 400 years (at least 60 years) In the current climate, there is about a 0.25% chance that they will occur in a given year.
