Temperatures in Europe have increased at more than twice the global average over the past 30 years – the highest of any continent in the world, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO).

Temperatures over Europe have warmed significantly over the 1991-2021 period, at an average rate of about +0.5°C per decade, according to the State of the Climate in Europe report.
