The European summer heatwave of 2019 – a regional storyline perspective by T. Klimiuk, P. Ludwig, A. Sanchez-Benitez, H. F. Goessling, P. Braesicke, P. Braesicke, J. G. Pinto

“…The magnitude of the heatwave temperature response significantly exceeds the globally modelled background warming, with distinct spatial and temporal variations in the regional increments. Our simulations indicate a general linear dependence of the 2 m temperature response on global-warming levels: during the July 2019 heatwave, warming rates ranged between factors of 2 and 3 in central Europe, resulting in anthropogenic warming of 8 to 12 °C in the <span class="inline-formula">+4</span> K climate. …”
