Of the places the group analysed, temperatures recorded at two of them would have been 'statistically impossible' if the world hadn't warmed by about 1.2C since the late 1800s, analysis of July's heatwave suggests.
But the group chose the UK for their latest analysis because the country is"particularly unaccustomed to very high temperatures as the ones that we have seen last week," added Friederike Otto, senior climate science lecturer at Imperial College London.
The 21 researchers involved in this study compared the global climate as it is today, after 1.2C of warming, with analysis of historical weather records. This also suggests the consequences of the climate crisis for heatwaves could be even worse than previously thought.
